Hello all, thought I would share my recent results which I am very happy with:
I was diagnosed with copd 5 years ago, had been smoking 20 per day for 38 years.
I stopped on 27 May 2012 at 5.45pm! My fev1 was 72% then. (Moderate)
Over past 4 years I took up gym and swimming regularly - I am now 56, just back from docs (15/6/2016) and my fev1 is now 79% border line mild/moderate.
Just shows that it can improve ........
Good luck and wishing you all good news

I was diagnosed with COPD four years ago. As for smoking - I had had the very odd cigarette as I didn't get anything out of them. My FEV 1 has always ranged between 60% and 79%. This seems to be a constant.
