How did your decline go?

The changes in how I'm feeling overall since my last hospital stay feel drastic, however right now my numbers don't really reflect that. I'm the past usually what would happen would be I would suddenly get sick with something (cold, flu, whatever), cough a ton, get to my couch out of breath then realize it's time for a hospital stay. Get tuned up then good to go back to my usual routine. However, my last stay wasn't like that. I never really got "sick", I'm fact I was barely coughing at all besides when I really forced myself during treatments. I went in because of a really heavy sensation on my chest, and after looking it up I guess it's called angina pectoris. I went in, did the regular I.vs, but it took a while for it to go away. Now a few months later I am having it again, only this time after walking for a quarter mile or so. I fear it won't be long until I feel it constantly again. My fev1 hasn't changed much, still between 50s to 60s, However I really have to work now to get anything up. I used to run back in high school so the best way I would describe it is trying to do your best time every single treatment (as far as mucus production goes), mornings I get close but by the end of the day I'm just beat. I am just curious if this is similar to your decline pre tx. Was it sudden or drawn out? Did you experience Any of what I described and if so could you do anything about it? Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
