Hi im 46 I stopped smoking 4 1/2 years ago I did smoke alot and needed to stop for my health. I have been waking up on a night cant breathe wheezing really bad and also had pains in my chest and struggling during the day.
Welcome Kaza, sorry about your diagnosis and hope you get lots of help and the right meds. Take care xxxx
Hi Kaza,
I'm 49yrs old and very new to this forum and was just diagnosed with moderate copd a couple of weeks ago .I have been given great advise on here keep posting . You can also ring the British Lung Foundation and speak to a nurse. If I were you I would make a gp appt (if you haven't) as possible chest infection as I've felt like that.. have they given you any inhalers I have the blue one which helps
Hope this helps but there are more knowledgeable people on here
Gayle xx Good luck let us know how you get on
