How have you managed to come to terms with your diagnosis
Vonnie50 in reply to
Nope not at all. Keep panicking and scared
my grown up kids don’t understand and say stop worrying your fine x

What's your fears.
Vonnie50 in reply to
Terrified of suffocating and generally getting worse
in reply to Vonnie50
My fears are getting worse leaving my babies...them seeing me suffer losing my independence. Not being able to work ...when do we come to terms, everyone tells me I need to
Vonnie50 in reply to

Vonnie50 in reply to
Snap me too 100%
in reply to Vonnie50
Some days I am in total denial ..which helps ...I realise no one can predict our future, but we are doing
Vonnie50 in reply to
Yes I know. I have days I think I am dealing with it then wham panic again
in reply to Vonnie50
What are the people in your rehab group like...mine are gasping for air
Vonnie50 in reply to
2 are bad on oxygen and gasping rest seem fine and all over 67 except me. Which makes me worry as why me so young
in reply to Vonnie50
See all my gasping one lady had it 6 years one had it 30 years ...
Vonnie50 in reply to
Nurse told me a lot of ones that are bad have other illnesses like heart problems or mobility issues and have had a lot of sickness so that’s why there worse. But 1 man with oxygen had no illness at all. He got pneumonia and ended up on oxygen
in reply to Vonnie50
Diagnosed this year with asthma scared stiff...have got mild sleep apnea and consultation said wont get better but now I stop will get no worse...blf say otherwise
in reply to Vonnie50
Do you know when I am told ...you stop smoking you will not progress I feel fine until I realise that makes no sense...I have nurse saying how do you know you will be as bad as people at rehab...she said some people progress fast other hardly at all...don't get that...my says drop when I am walking so keep thinking here comes oxygen..
So much spinning around in my head.
Vonnie50 in reply to
I missed a session already as too unwell. Yes conflicting information one says no progression after stopping smoking and keeping active, other saying progressive. No wonder we can’t relax
in reply to Vonnie50
Most say progressive slow..what about people who have never smoked or get it years after smoking ...i want my life back before this but i know that life has been replaced with fear
Vonnie50 in reply to
Same I have little interest just feel low. Apart from seeing daughter and son and 2 little grandchildren I go nowhere to scared I’ll get ill or have panic attack
in reply to Vonnie50
Get well soon
Connie and Emily as you both know I am at the same stage as you. None of us are going to reach a stage where we lose our independence even if our lung function is reduced by half. Even those who are severe are completely independent, work full time and have a good quality of life. Starting from a mild/moderate level rarely goes to severe and even if it does it would take around 30+ years to get there -do you still expect perfect health (even if you get there) in your late 80's or early 90's.
It would be a great pity to ruin the rest of your lives through anxiety which is the bigger issue you are both suffering from.
I am aware that neither of you will believe me but I am stating facts x
in reply to hypercat54
I agree with you but one Nurse have me at 3 years then down hill
in reply to hypercat54
I think now HyperCat that it's the conflicting views along with panic ... and seeing people 2 years on with sane fears when will I come to terms with it..my sats drop when I walk so so worried all the time
hypercat54 in reply to
How low do your sats drop? If they are still 90 or above there is nothing to worry about. Everyones sats naturally vary by a few points depending what we are doing and the weather affects them too x
in reply to hypercat54
Sometime 88 if running but 90 92
in reply to hypercat54
You comfort me
You are such a sweetheart hypercat
I had nurse give me 3 years before I got worse emphysema as well asthma
Hi Emily I would believe my consultant they are very knowledgeable doctors they know what they are talking about and seen your diagnosis many many times if he says don’t worry then you have nothing to worry about . Are you having any meds for your ectopic heart beats and low BP take care. Xxx
in reply to christina1947
No meds dr said he wasn't worried about my ectopic heart beat..I am also gave me nothing for low BP is there things I can have
Problem one consultant said progressive another said not..health websites say progress...
Can I have stuff for ectopic heart beat and low BP, so I can ask
Hey, you listened - I am in shock! I reckon either you misunderstood the consultant or they were clumsy in their words when you were told it wouldn't progress after you stopped smoking. They would have meant, as everyone's lung function decreases naturally with age, that yours wouldn't progress more than that.
As for that nurse tell the next medical professional you see about it and see what they say x
in reply to hypercat54
No said I wouldn't progress that what he said one other said I would but slow...I know its progressive...nurse said I could stay like this for 3 years...I am so frightened and you know I am ...I don't want to get worse but got no control over it...counselling they want me to do in group I cant do that, so suspended till they find a 1:1 ...at a told loss and scared
hypercat54 in reply to
Once you get your anxiety under control you should see a big difference in your mindset.
in reply to hypercat54
Thank you hope so
Thank you hypercat ❤️
