My emphysema was found on a lung CT which indicated it was moderate emphysema. My doctor started me on Trelegy Ellipta even though I really only notice shortness of breath when I use the elliptical or do other exercises. He did not do a spirometry test, so I don't really know any of my FEV1/FVC numbers.
My question is: Is it usual to jump into Trelegy right off the bat? I'm concerned because the same CT scan that showed emphysema also showed compression fractures from osteoporosis, and long-term steroid use could increase the risk of more fractures.
