lungs feel like blotting paper sometimes

[Jk1957]

When I get tired for example if standing too long or walking too far I suddenly feel my lungs are weak .

I get a blotting paper feeling in my sides together with breathlessness .

I know if I don’t lie down lungs will bleed

It takes a day to get strength back

Does anyone else experience this feeling & can you explain it or what helps please ?

Many thanks in advance

Good morning Jk1957. I don't have experience of the symptoms your describing but I think you should be getting checked out by your doctor and possibly have some tests. Good luck in getting an appointment. Brian
