Do you exercise st all? When I was diagnosed with COPD in 2004 I was told that within five years I would be in a wheelchair with an oxygen bottle. I started exercising again and I have done so ever since. If I don’t exercise my breathing starts to deteriorate. I’m 72, go to the gym 2/3 times a week, ride a 1000cc sports tourer motorcycle and I refuse to give up.

Hi, there are treatments out there foe emphysema I've been looking into treatments, not cures, you cannot cure the problems but you can have treatment which makes it a little better. Depending on your age a lung transplant is possible, lung reduction surgery can be available. There are also lung valves & coils available at some UK hospitals. Privately a stem cell treatment could help but not in UK. this treatment always means travel to another country. It's still in infancy stage but has helped some people to improve their lot.

You will need to do research for all of the above but there are ways that you could help to improve yourself.
