Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments Hi I was just diagnosed yesterday that I have moderate COPD. I've been fighting acute bronchitis since the beginning of August....I had a severe cough and couldn't lie down. I was put on Prednisone and antibiotic (my 4th). I went and had the pulmonary testing while I had the bad cough. I'm wondering if the diagnoses would be accurate while sick. Thoughts?
