Ongoing from the story I had up before. Recently found out even from a young age she struggled with running. Another question I have is. Are chest infections specific to COPD or can asthmatics be just as likely. Luckily lung function has only dropped by about 9 percent. She's almost been In green zone a few times too. She's took down a diary. Luckily our device is approved to the correct standards so should be pretty accurate. They said her last copd assesment was great

Hello DI98. I did look at your profile and this is your first post on this forum. Do you think you could edit your post to give us a back story on "she" ? As we know nothing about her. Many thanks.

Ah. Well basically she's diagnosed as copd at 40 25 years ago But she has very variable lung function improved by ventolin. Shes mentioned a lot of things I can relate to as an asthmatic. Works full time. Doesn't seem to stop going up big hills

Hello again. I think you are talking about your mother? Well if she is working at sixty five and going up big hills I truly envy her. It's really good that she is active. It will stand her in very good stead. The more exercise the better, within reason of course especially if she is asthmatic. 🙂
