Difficulty walking long distances

Hi Everyone, I'm so sorry to bother you all again. I have COPD, Pulmonary Hypertension, Asthma and scarring of the lungs due to sarcoidosis. In July last year I had a heart ultrasound done [which indicated mild pulmonary hypertension] and a spirometry breathing test which indicated moderate COPD. Since then I have had pneumonia and Covid, and I feel I am struggling more to climb stairs/hills, and walk for long distances - I get more out of breath than I did this time last year, I think. I am on Trimbow inhaler twice a day - I see the respiratory specialist in May. I was just wondering if oral medications have made a significant difference to anyone with similar conditions, and if their breathing has improved? Thank you so much.
