Has anyone had so much trouble breathing that you can’t do anything?

Having difficulty breathing is very common among heart failure patients. For many of us, it is associated with fluid build up in the lungs. Our editorial team did a nice feature on shortness of breath: https://heart-failure.net/symptoms/shortness-of-breath. Out of curiosity, are you having difficulty managing your fluid levels?

I have been going to the doctors and hospital for over a year and just noticed that I am having trouble breathing but the doctors don't hear anything when they check me. Yet breathing is hard. Sitting in my chair and breathing hard. Sometimes just wish it would happen! Tired of this feeling!
