Hello, I am new to this site, and wonder if anyone has the same problem as me. I am 56 years old and was diagnosed with Emphysema two years ago, I manage to stay fairly well with the use of Spiriva and Braltus inhalers, plus a low dose of Prednisolone every day. My problem is that I have very pungent bad breath, and body odour most of the time. I do absolutely everything to try to prevent it, but no matter what level of oral and body hygiene I use, it still persists, I think the smell actually comes from my lungs. Could it be the deterioration of my lungs causing it, or possibly a side effect of the inhalers? I would love to hear from anyone who has experienced this.
