First things that come to mind is dehydration and lack of O2. I dont recall the story that lead to your testing, but do you know what your O2 sats at rest and exercise are? Its important that you get enough O2 while exercising or you just use up what your body has in it & then it affects everything. Otherwise I would just say you are overdoing it and need to build up to it. Make sure your caloric intake matches what you are burning also.

Your body has to work extra hard when you exercise because exercise requires more O2.

This is just part of having CF unfortunately....

hey bonnie,

sorry to hear you were recently diagnosed with Cf. welcome to the forum, though! there is a lot of information and support available here.

when i read your post, first thing that came to mind is that you are definitly overdoing it. i agree with what melissa said also...it sounds like you are short of oxygen or maybe not getting enough fluids. some people with Cf use supplimental oxygen just at night or when they exercise.

also, it could be a salt issue. have you been told to take salt pills when you exercise? i have to do this in the summer sometimes otherwise i'll feel a little crummy, but usually nothing that lasts as long as you're describing.

it is great to hear that you have been exercising and trying to get into a routine. i beleive it is one of the most important "therapies" you can do as a person with Cf. try for consistency over intensity -- try to find a level that you can do a little each day or most days.

good luck!

You can go to a CF clinic and get exercise tested with O2 monitors.

You might need a tank of O2 to breath while you exercise....
