Difficulty Exercising
People with orthopnea who enjoy exercising may begin to experience difficulty working out due to their breathing difficulties. If fatigue begins to set in, they may have a hard time beginning to exercise or being able to exercise for a long time.
On the other hand, if those with orthopnea start to develop other, more serious breathing issues, they may run out of breath quickly while performing any kind of exercise.
