When I had covid, I had shortness of breath and did deep breathing exercises daily until I was able to breath better. I hope this helps and will have you in my prayers.

Carolyn5,
I don't have CLL but do have TPLL and I get sob when I'm overexerting, like lifting something heavy, moving something like furniture or walking a long distance. I was getting up and down on a ladder hanging party decorations and got really sob and had to just stop for a while. I do what Barbara856 suggested and stop whatever I'm doing that caused it and I'm ok. I don't know if it's related to leukemia or I'm just getting old... I'll be 72 on the 30th so who knows!!

I have CLL and often notice SOB when I am settling down for sleep. I huff and puff for 10 to 15 minutes frequently. Better now my back pain was reduced by surgery. My CPAP machine also may contribute to my experience of it.

been suffering with shortness of breath and fatigue for over a year. my oncologist said it would improve when my anemia caused low level hemoglobin rose above 10. second opinion from a Mercy Cancer center oncologist tells me that i will have shortness of breath and fatigue for the rest of my life, and hemoglobin will never get to 10. am 85 and was diagnosed last october, 2022. then modified from CLL to MDS.

So glad your heart checked out ok. One less thing to worry about! Right?
Hope and pray your shortness of breath improves... maybe after this dreadfully hot summer is over...it will help.
Take care.😊
