Breathlessness

[James48]

Hi Folks, I was recommended this link to - 'The Breathless Intervention Servce' at Cambridge University Hospital. It has information and videos about coping with breathlessness which might be useful

Hi, thanks for the link it looks useful. Did you get on a west indies cruise? Best wishes, Margaret

Hello, Thanks - yes I'm still looking into a cruise and weighing up the odds having been hospitalised recently - a lot to think about with COPD. A post from a while back was quite off putting about a respratory infection caught on one boat via the air con. Have you been on a cruise? James

[scorpiolass in reply to James48]

No, i haven't been on a cruise, although at one time it was on my list of to do's. I thought being sea level and the salt air would be briliant for me.

Now like you I am less sure, having met people who suffered chest illness from air conditioning. I think i remember someone writing about how air conditioning was serviced affected copd & some lines were better, but i can't locate it. Perhaps someone will come along soon with information. Best wishes, Margaret x

Thanks Huff, I was in hospital through late March and April with pneumonia and pseudinomas - took a lot IV antibiotics to get rid of it. First time hospitalised. Still very weak and advised it will be 3 months till recovery. Have been referred for lung function tests. I had great treatment and care from the NHS here in Chelmsford. How are you? xx

Thank you for the link - all info very welcome. Hope you get to go away somewhere nice, even if you don't think the cruise is suitable.
