in my recent post of please help me understand here’s a update which I’m still confused about.
Went back to gp as the bevespi inhaler wasn’t doing as it should and giving constant tightness and discomfort in the chest which led me to realise it wasn’t working.
I had a asthma blow test yesterday where you blow and keep the car on the road and my numbers were a 6 so no asthma but got told that my copd diagnosis was definitely there but very mild and considered low, my fear now is my anxiety is rife and I can’t see past the diagnosis as being bad and I’m really trying to stop smoking but so far only managing to cut back a little with the help of nrt patches and lozenges and mini mints, I’ve put my readings into a calculator and it has come up as low consider copd could anyone confirm this is correct? I’m not denying that I don’t have it I just want clarification that is I stop with the smoking it won’t get no worse and have a early passing 😭
Having this diagnosis has crippled me 10 fold and I’m a shaking jittery mess.
And thanks in advance for any comments or advice I appreciate it xx
