Sleeping to much

'My husband has had copd for quite some time. He is always tired, coughing. Last week we thought he was having a heart attack, but nothing wrong with his heart, is it his copd?'


  1. Hi Sara, and thanks for your post. I am sorry to hear that your husband is facing these challenges managing COPD.
    You may be aware that this disease affects everyone differently. However, typical symptoms that may be associated with COPD can include coughing and also feeling tired. Have you had an opportunity to discuss your husband's condition with his doctor? The physician should be able to explain how COPD affects your husband and his particular level of disease.
    I'm glad to hear that cardiac etiologies have been ruled out.
    Please do check back and keep us apprised of your husband's condition and progress.
    Please know you are always welcome here!
    All the best,
    Leon (site moderator COPD.net)
