Have you diagnosed by Docot consultant. Might be a good idea to get checked over to be on safe side. Look after yourself take are.

You can’t think you have emphysema cos you have symptoms as this could represent anything, I have symptoms of all sorts of things which I don’t have, and as for the mental crystals I always make sure I have them in my medicine cupboard they are great for me especially in the winter months when the colds start appearing and I do feel I breath easier with them I feel they have been my life saver at times

Why do you think you have emphysema?

Because im a smoker and i rescently developed a cough that burns my throat and my lung capacity feels smaller

Also i have trouble breathing...it kinda feels like oxygen deprivation and i would just be laying down

Doctors will tell you unfortunately we are not doctors

Good luck

Like I say could be anything, when I have ct scans and X-rays there’s been times when I’ve been diagnosed with something new and I had no symptoms, so you shouldn’t worry unless you need to worry, but start the ball rolling being checked especially in a “covid world” you should know if there’s something wrong also while waiting get a tube you blow in to to see what your peak flow is again not diagnosing you but it could be peace of mind if you are in the “normal range”

You need to see a doctor and get a proper diagnosis. There is no point trying to self diagnose.

My pharmacist warned me that they were too stringent and would certainly make matters worse. Please check it our before using.
