Q: thank you for giving me this opportunity. I was told I have COPD but recently my cardiologist said

said my breathing problem could be due to malfunctioning MITRO VALVE because some of the oxygenated blood is being regurgitated back into the wrong chamber of the heart & the heart is not getting enough oxygenated blood thru my body & particularly my lungs. I therefore have to have an oxygen machine on all the time & take portable one for the car. Can you tell me what can I do to be able to breathe better - not all the time w/the oxygen? Also , the dr. increased my Coumadin dose so that my blood will be even thinner. thank you for any advice.
