Thanks for your post. It could be associated with a heart issue, but it could be something else all together. You should speak with a physician right away and if it gets more difficult call 911 - that is what EMTs are there for!
In the meantime, checkout our material on COPD and read posts from our COPD expert Jane Martin.
Hope this helps and all the best, sue
