Exercise may help you get to a point where you can talk and walk at the same time. Many of us can't, so it's not unusual. You'll need to push yourself pretty hard to make that kind of progress, but it is possible.

It takes time but it can be done. I push myself and today I can do both. Don’t give up😀

I can't do it either. I stop sometimes to talk, otherwise I have to slow down to a turtles pace.
@A MyCOPDTeam Member I hope to get to that point some day. I keep trying.
