Yes, I'm the same. Eating is getting hard work too as I'm increasingly breathless while eating. It would be great to have a pill that gave us all the nourishment needed and give up eating!
I have lung disease,I find I get tired of chewing food.I’m losing weight,just spent 10 weeks in hospital. They kept trying to feed me up.they kept giving me a supplement called Calogen. If you can take it it’s really good.
Eating does tire me out because of the chewing.
Does it help to eat little and often rather than a big meal that wears him out. Its hard coping with with breathlessness and fatigue. Perhaps a supplement drink before bed would help as well x
Good morning Juebee. I too have copd. And have noticed that I too can drop of to sleep after eating a meal. I also have chronic Kidney disease and put the sleeping down to that. Because that condition does make you tired and lacking energy. Perhaps it's a combination in my case. I find the only answer is to get up and keep busy after a meal because otherwise it can affect your nights sleep if you sleep too much in the daytime. Hope you find some answers. Brian
Same here really annoying, with the expanded lung capacity it impinges on your guts so not enough room for food..
