I believe that there are only 4 stages to COPD
There's different websites that say stage 5 of copd iv seen it to . My thinking is not to be to aware of numbers as really it's how you feel on a daily basis that matters and numbers just exist for health care professionals to match you up to them...I was diagnosed at stage 3 copd lung function 46 % but still walk run train and very active lifestyle so that's my opinion but I do agree I have seen stage 5 xxx
Thank you all for your replies
I believe that the 5th one has prob been invented by a COPD group along the line x
