How do you know you have COPD? Your first port of call must be your GP, who can send you for testing to determine the extent of your condition, refer you to a consultant if necessary, and see that you get the appropriate treatment. Welcome to the forum. Best wishes. Stay in touch.

Hi and welcome. What help do you need?

Welcome to the forum and hope you get the help you need. If you have COPD then speak to your GP about any referrals or clinics you can attend. Good luck to you. Stay in touch. Xxxx

Exactly as Alberta56 says.

Your profile says you joined in 2016 and you are in the UK, you haven't said much about what you need help with but if you are finding you are in extreme difficulty breathing over the weekend do phone either 111 service or the emergency service.

Do check in with your doctor on Monday.

if you are not registered with a GP yet - information here on how to go about it:

Best wishes, I hope you will soon get the treatment you need.

I presume that someone must have diagnosed your COPD and that you have had most of these tests? nhs.uk/conditions/chronic-o... If it was toy GP and you are stable on your meds he might not refer you to the COPD clinic. If you are really breathless contact either 111. Good luck

Hello Debrafreds, your post is a little vague. But welcome to the site. In respect of COPD not all sufferers attend hospital clinics there are in some areas, once diagnosis is definate, community clinics for lung conditions. With hospitals used for flare ups only. Have you contacted your doctor about your change in condition? I have not seen a consultant for my lung conditions for 10yrs now just have an annual check & inhalers plus flu jabs ect. Take care and maybe now the COvid19 is settling a little you may be able to attend hospital clinic and get things upto date on your health. Best Wishes
