Strange Symptoms with COPD

I have the rib cramps when I move around and just when I get relaxed enough to fall asleep, so needless to say I don't get to sleep until they go away. I also can't eat cold things as they give me what I call lung freeze - both together are so painful they take the wind out of me. I also have bradycardia and have a pace maker. So there are so many strange things that are going on with me it's really scary at times. I also find myself forgetting things in a matter of minutes. I've had COPD for about 10 years but it's been only in the last 3/4 years that I've started having all these strange symptoms.
