Waiting to have a spirometry test but have been told I have COPD for over a year but not tested for it.so breathless when doing anything no chest infection blocked sinuses

Nope, I dont fancy taking anything not tried & tested. There are a few posts about it though, just write it in the search bar.

I hope you soon get tested with spirometry for a clear diagnosis. P

Hello,

There are so many ads these days for respiratory herbal remedies. Many of these ads show people getting rid of conventional meds and taking up herbal remedies. Not a good idea to stop conventional meds surely in place of something unproven ?

As far as I know Lignosus contains Mullein which make us cough- it is an expectorant, a very old herbal remedy. I have tried Mullein in the past but it made me cough my ‘boots up’ - never again. Borage had the same effect.

The only herbal I take is a Fenugreek seed tea infusion which I make myself and it just calms my lungs down.

Hope this helpful?

Go well

Pauline
