severe emphysema

I am on my 4th pacemaker and second set of leads, I am 64,pacemaker dependent. I was just diagnosised with severe emphysema. I am so tired all the time, I am on oxygen at night and breathing treatments, but that doesn't seem to help anything but my headaches. antidepressants don't seem to help my depression. Some one told me that to have both of these I was sure to have con. heart failure, my DR., JUST SAY i'M going to be fine. Can anyone expound on problems?
comfused, Nelson
