I felt particularly "puffy" today, although I managed a 1 km walk and a 4 km exercise bike ride, and found it difficult to get my breath back, but my oximeter said 98% and 83 BPM. Am I unique or do other have this problem. Martin

Martin, when I tell my consultant that I feel short of breath at the gym, he replies, you would feel short of breath, that's normal for your condition!

I sympathise with you, Martin, but you are doing the right thing with your exercises. Don't be ashamed to stop for a bit and catch your breath. here's a video about it:
