hi there welcome to the site yes the low energy and the feeling weak seem to be part and parcel of c o p d i also smoked that was when i found out i had it after i had given up 6 months they did a lung function test, i managed to give up with the champix does'nt suit everybody i have just done my 1st year of the fags wish i had never started, hang on in there and take one day at a time good luck marian xx
Don't waste your energy with regrets, look to the future - with careful management you will have a long and better future. Eat well, excercise and knocking the cigs on the head will help towards that. x
Hi have Copd and a giant bullae in my upper lobe and middle and lower lobe compressed by this. Also my left lung seriously damaged -not good. However keep as fit as you can join a breath easy class in your area. Walk as often as you can at your own pace. Do not allow your COPD make you into a couch potato, think positive and you will be fine.
Welcome Bobby,
Congratulations giving up the smokes one of the very best things you can do. Its always more difficult when first diagnosed and it takes a while to make those lifestyle adjustments and work around symptoms, but eventually you will find things don't seem so bad. One of the very best things that will help you manage your symptoms and help stabilise things is a pulmonary rehabilitation course. Ask your GP or consultant for a referral. The link below gives you an idea what PR is all about.
Warm welcome to you Bobby! You are doing well off the smokes,it will get easier,& hopefully you'll buck up soon.Keep up the exercise & right eating patterns,& hopefully soon,you will notice a difference! Love Wendells xxx

Welcome to this site and Well done you, the first three days are the hardest with the fags so you are over the worst now.
Sorry if I bore everyone else but my advice is to get out of breath, on purpose, once a day to give the tubes a workout and eat well and stay positive!!
