What is SOB? Husband has COPD ,oxygen level is good 98/99. Has heart problems but not heart failure. He has issues with clogged arteries that are being addressed. He has cough and struggles to breathe. He was given something for anxiety, but that has not helped.

Sorry to hear this. SOB is short for shortness of breath and we use it a lot here. I hope your husband feels a bit better soon. Welcome to the site.

Hi and welcome I see you now know what SOB means, I think it was my first question too. Sounds like your hubby needs to go back to see his GP, it can take a few trips to get sorted out with what actually works for us. x
