Sorry to ask yet another question but with little access to drs and no consultation with respiratory for months I have nowhere else to turn... To recap... I had a chest x-ray and was told it showed emphysemic changes. About 2 months ago. I congratulated …

As stated above, try the inhaler. I would ask what type of inhaler, just for my own knowledge. For some reason my doctor is not much of a fan of Mucinex, I never have asked why but I never tried it. Staying hydrated is essential. You mention that in the …

I was diagnosed this June. I have never smoked, been around a smoker or been around chemicals/irritants. My PFT showed my lungs are functioning at 85%. I have a good pulmonologist but still very confused.

This might be a problem with my head music and not my oxygen level. I recently had to increase my O2 to a minimum of 4 lpm to maintain a sat of even as low as 85-88. I did this on my own as I had no upcoming dr appt. Other than not being able to maintain …

Hoping I'm not getting forgetful but I seem to recall that my mum, at her copd/breath easy sessions, was once told to buy balloons and blow them up as an exercise. Would that be right? Ironic I might well go to same session she did. Least I know where it …

A4 - End of the Line (The Traveling Wilburys) ... I had to look this one up to see who performed it. What a surprise!!! Anyone know the members of the Traveling Wilburys?

Good afternoon all. Hope everyone is doing well. I am just wondering if there are any runners here who are on oxygen? Or does anyone know of any? Thanks for your time.

Hello. I am new to this sight I have emphysema and asthma COPD. I am on a monthly shot for my asthma, called Nucalla. Was wondering if anyone else has this and what they think of it

For many years I would have said "I am a teacher" I have since discovered that was wrong. Being a teacher was what I did, along with being an airport manager, Criminal investigator, Salesman, disk jockey (teachers always work 2 jobs) NOT what I am. I …

Hello everyone. New member here. I’m looking for comfort, some words of reassurance even though I am totally aware of the severity of the situation My grandad was diagnosed with Emphysema a year ago, after 6-9 months struggling with breathlessness and …

3C - I before E except after C (Unless you sEIze on how wEIrd the rule is and forfEIt.)

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 …

Bronco78 I never suggested Sassycat was ignorant, you are the one that suggested she needed to educated herself. Sassycat and I are good. I have nothing to apologize for Mike.
