Yes, caroleoctober, I too find that between 6-8pm my breathing becomes more laborious. Having said that, I'm not at my best in the morning either ! lol
early morning and late evening. early morning is the worst . when I need to go to work
at the moment someone kindly has passed their virus/cold onto me and I am suffering
and this weather . oh well on wards and upwards 
Yes me too..Evenings are worse..I put it down to the end of the day tiredness..
I feel more breathless in the evenings but I too just put it down to tiredness and this silly feeling I've used up my lung and air quota for the day! 
Yes me too. I am ok in the morning but as soon as I eat I get more breathless so afternoons and evenings are not good for me either.
I agree. I find that an hours kip around 6pm helps me to carry on for the evening. x
Evenings are worse for me sats also drop must be because your getting tired x
Thank-you all for your answers don't feel so bad now. Have my 70th coming so have arranged a lunchtime do.
Hi Caroleoctober,
I too run out of steam at about 6pm , also a lot of other copd sufferers i know say the same xx. Good thinking about the lunchtime do xx have a great day xx . xxxx Dinny xxxx
Yes thank you for posting this Carole at about 5pm is when I remember I've got copd its when I start hyperventilating and thats only with the prospect of the after dinner dishes to be done something I could breeze through a year ago. I sometimes have an extra spiriva at that time as I'm taking advantage of one nurse's advice who said, when asked, we would expect you to take this particular inhaler twice a day. Have a great lunch and a happy birthday, I'm guessing that's in October from your Avatar.
My lovely husband bought us a dishwasher before he retired. Yes it is in October. Will have to ask about second puff of spireva as I only take it in the morning. Thankyou for your good wishes.
One dose lasts 24 hours Carole. The Spiriva website - spiriva.com/ - describes it as "the only once-daily inhaled maintenance prescription treatment for COPD"
Happy Birthday if i dont get too say it Carole..Have a lovely day..x
