[QUOTE="first14808, post: 1809153, member: 452612"] Interesting. I know pre-diagnosis, one of my concerns was I'd get really out of breath. I had some spirometry tests and was apparently 'excellent', although they were resting rather than exertion tests. And since losing weight, that problem's gone away and I can exercise more. And it makes sense if visceral fat was reducing lung volume. Apnoea was also fun when I was in HDU because I kept setting the alarm off. When I trained, I was taught to use my diaphragm for breathing, which was a novel experience but means I don't breathe 'normally'. Combined with a low resting pulse, my sleep got disrupted by the alarms going off :) [/QUOTE]
