Hi
X-rays are normally used to exclude other causes. Have you had a spirometer test or full lung function test, which is the usual test for COPD.
Hi luckydon, I was wondering why you were given the blue pump a few years ago.....did you have a cough or were you breathless?
There are a few inhalers that don't suit me but others are OK with them...we are all different.
My chest X-rays are usually clear too, but I have been diagnosed with asthma/COPD, I have hyper inflated lungs.
