Complication of Heart problem and Depression by COPD.

Severe COPD can cause heart failure in heart’s lower right chamber, or ventricle.

• This is a condition called right-sided heart failure or cor pulmonale.
• Right-sided heart failure causes fluid to build up in  body,

such as in  legs and belly area.

1. Shortness of breath and fatigue are the most prominent effects of CHF and COPD.
2. For both conditions, shortness of breath typically occurs with physical exertion in the early disease stages, and it can occur at rest with advanced disease.

At least 1 in 10 people with early COPD get depression or anxiety, and that number climbs as the disease gets worse.

Medication can help, along with exercise and even music therapy.
