I start household chores, but I keep having to sit down with fatigue. Next week I go for pulmonary function tests. Maybe that will shed some light. I never smoked or had any chronic lung disorder, but CT scans show scar tissue in my lungs. My heart rate is unusually fast. I never met anyone else whose heart beats this fast. Last EKG recorded rate of 118/min, and that was with me lying down. It's over 120, when I'm just vacuum cleaning. A sleep study reported I need oxygen at night. To top it off I'm very anemic. I feel best when I'm lying down.

I also know I'm depressed. That makes me not want to do much.
