I visited the town of Boquette at a whatever elevation. it rains alot there and not very hot or cold. Can COPD be affected by elevation or air quality. I felt better there butmaybe it was just the beer thanks5 hours agoKandy State Captain of South Dakota ,loukat,Vinny M and 2 other people care about thisKandy State Captain of South Dakota and 4 other people care about thisBen AFirst, welcome to the board!Second, both elevation and air quality can have pronounced effects on our ability to breath. That goes for both healthy lungs and not so healthy lungs (like ours), but given that we're working with less lung capacity to begin with, it can effect us more. I do badly in heavy humidity but OK in cold air (which many people with COPD find a problem). We're all different. The goal is to find out what effects each of us, then develop a plan to work around it. For example, when the humidity is VERY high, I stay in air conditioned environments where the humidity is significantly lower.Good luck.3 hours agoKandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Bill Clark - Community Manager,Vinny M and 1 other person care about thisKandy State Captain of South Dakota and 3 other people care about thisBill Clark - Community ManagerYou ask a question by clicking the blue menu bar on the top left and select questions3 hours agoKandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Vinny M and BonBon care about thisKandy State Captain of South Dakota and 2 other people care about this Chippieanswered the question How Long Can your Oxygen Tubing Safely Be? 3 liters and 65 feet. 5 hours ago Kandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Vinny M,BonBon and 1 other person care about thisKandy State Captain of South Dakota and 3 other people care about this kitty67What is a POC? 6 hours ago Bill66 - Bill Wornstaff NJ State Captain ,Kandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Vinny M and 3 other people care about thisBill66 - Bill Wornstaff NJ State Captain and 5 other people care about this NewestOldestJeanO53POC = portable oxygen concentrator. 6 hours agoBill66 - Bill Wornstaff NJ State Captain ,Kandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Vinny M and 2 other people care about thisBill66 - Bill Wornstaff NJ State Captain and 4 other people care about this kitty67Pretty good.

I'm not a pill guy and dont like the high cholesterol associated with taking SSRI's I work very hard keeping my cholesterol levels low, however sometimes the anxiety is overwhelming as you all know.

I started taking Robitussin (very hard to read) that comes in small white bottle with the best anti theft packaging. You are limited to three bottles (although the clerk in Walmart was will to put another bottle on separate invoice) And,Guailfenesin talbles. The two together 2-3 times per day. I don't take perscriptions either. I remember the first advise of what to take by the Dr was around $850 per month. I went to the herbal store and they had the plants but also wanted way to much. Oh, I also have a nebulizer and take albuterol (this is a percription...sorry) sorry for writing so much4 hours agoKandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Vinny M,BonBon and 1 other person care about thisKandy State Captain of South Dakota and 3 other people care about thisBen AHi Bill. I share your dislike of SSRI's. (You may remember me posting about the hell of trying to get off Effexor a few years ago.) I was only on Zoloft for a short period of time many years ago, but it may be similar to many other SSRI's - you have to take them for at least several weeks before the levels build up in your body enough to have an effect on your mood. In other words, just taking one when you feel down won't work at all. If you're hunting for something to knock down an emerging problem (like having an anxiety attack), you may want to talk to your doctor about something more immediate, like Xanax or other tranquilizers. Good luck!4 hours agoKandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Vinny M,BonBon and 1 other person care about thisKandy State Captain of South Dakota and 3 other people care about thisjudg69Bill, I have been taking Zoloft for over 15 years. It absolutely stopped the frequent panic/anxiety attacks I had been experiencing and have not had any attacks since. My point is if people are prescribed an anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication, it often does enable you to feel better and stay on a more normal track.

Hope for tomorrow!!15 hours agoVinny M,BonBon,Bill Clark - Community Manager and 1 other person care about thisVinny M and 3 other people care about this DavecHello all. My name is Dave. I recently completed a sleep study and as part of that study I had a breathing test. After the study the Dr. told I had COPD and sleep apnea. I am 66 years old and "I thought in good health". I exercise 3-4 times a week. I live an active life style. I visit this Dr. again soon to get the full results of the study. So at this point I don't know what stage my COPD is at. I assume stage 1 due to my lack of symptoms. So my question is, how long can I put off the need to use oxygen if I continue to exercise and do the breathing exercises? Months, years, forever? 1 day ago 2cents,Kandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Davidgh and 7 other people care about this2cents and 9 other people care about this NewestOldestClick to View All Comments8 comment(s) edpe77Possibly forever!To qualify for O2 you need to exhibit reduced O2 levels after a period of exercise.I have advanced COPD, but not on O2!ed1 day agoVinny M,Kandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Caroline and 2 other people care about thisVinny M and 4 other people care about thisBill Clark - Community ManagerIt could be any of the above.

Eat right, stay active, and stay in contact with your doctor. Devise a plan to keep yourself as healthy as possible. And remember to stay away from places where people are sick. It’s easier to catch something since your immune system is not up to par as others.

I just wanted to say welcome to COPD360 Social.18 hours agoVinny M,BonBon,Bill Clark - Community Manager and 1 other person care about thisVinny M and 3 other people care about thisclipper (Debbie) - NJ State Captain One thing I have learned is the vast diversity of symptoms we exhibit. The odds are real good you won’t need O2 for years. Lung function is complicated. A pulmonary function test will measure a few different things. Two things you’ll hear a lot about; obstruction which is your ability to exhale and diffusion which is your ability to diffuse O2 from your lungs into your bloodstream. Super over simplified but good enough. I am very severe obstruction but my diffusion isn’t that terrible so I do not need supplemental O2. I consider exercise a critically important piece of my treatment plan. You have to coordinate with your doctors to be safe. Mine has stressed both interval training and also strength training. If you dig around and do some reading you will find that healthy muscle mass is key to staying ahead of this thing. And you need intensity to get the benefits that happen at the cellular level. I do a mix of interval training, resistance (strength), stretching and balance. I am at the gym 4-5 days a week. If I wasn’t working I would be there 7 days a week doing something. 16 hours agoVinny M,BonBon,Bill Clark - Community Manager and 2 other people care about thisVinny M and 4 other people care about thisKandy State Captain of South Dakota Welcome Dave to the social!! 15 hours agoVinny M,BonBon and Bill Clark - Community Manager care about thisVinny M and 2 other people care about this Clamdigger1957commented onShort of Breath After Eating Good information.. ... 1 day ago Vinny M,Kandy State Captain of South Dakota ,Caroline and 5 other people care about thisVinny M and 7 other people care about this DixieGanswered the question How Long Can your Oxygen Tubing Safely Be?
