When I was diagnosed in the UK with copd the nurse said I had the lungs of a 98yr old I've since moved to Spain and after seeing my GP here he referred me to see a pulmonologist I've had a cat scan and spirometry tests the conclusion is I havnt got copd but bronchial asthma , by the way the consultant changed my meds a couple of months ago and since then I've had no wheezing no coughing and no shortness of breath very happy lady but confused!!!!

Brilliant news, must be the sunshine helping, do you think it's made a difference, moving to Spain?
Now that's a good twist to your story, happy for you jeanie, better be confused than sick anyway
Omg how confusing for you. I don't know if you are aware but there is also an asthma site on HU which might be able to help as well. x
Thanks will look it up x
It is confusing, what lung age have you been given now? I have heard that the care for c.o.p.d. patients is excellent in Spain, I hope you have settled in nicely 😁 huff xxx
Did they mean Bronchitis, when they diagnosed you originally because, I think that just being told you have COPD confuses things. They should just say what you have is: Emphysema, Bronchitis...
No matter though Jeanie, it's great news. xx
That's great news - pity you were given the wrong diagnosis in the UK. Onwards and upwards now - good luck and all best wishes x
