After a lifetime of avoiding gyms etc I have taken on board what several posters have said about exercise and many seem to think a treadmill is good, tiltable especially. So for home use which would be a good one that posters have used or would recommend.

Not being gloomy but practical. Has anyone/would anyone consider it? I watched my mum die, COPD and lung cancer, I was close to her but found the end stages difficult and tiring, as did my dad. And for her, as much as I just didn't want her to die, I …

Shortness of breath, chest tightness, breathing fast are common symptoms for a COPD exacerbation, asthma and anxiety attack.

If winter is harder than summer (except for the high temperature problem) for others, are there any studies to suggest why? Is it relative humidity, the cold, barometric pressure, or . . .? Even in the house with the air "conditioned", it seems that I …

Jean, thank you and I laughed aloud at the "big question in the middle" - for sure it was buried in the middle of that info dump lol. So here's the weird thing - about a week ago as my Qvar inhaler got toward around 20 doses, I could no longer taste the …

As I've said I'm waiting 6 months to see respiratory so not staged or even diagnosed but I have got a cough that is annoying me. Just read not to to use normal cough medicine so do I do another telephone consult with gp (primary care). Or can I use hot …
