Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments My doctor told me I have mild COPD as my Spirometry test came back all normal except my DLCO is 64 which is considered mild low. My doctor said to quit smoking and I will be fine. I am 48 and worried about progression. Is there anything else I can do. I was told damage is irreversible. I just quit smoking after 35 years and now feel worse. Shortness of breath and soar chest. Ain’t I suppose to feel better.
