I’ve explained this to the doc’s who had a look at my stomach and back two taps on the belly... and hey your fine.........no I’m not, the feeling is like being pregnant but the problem is I’m a male, lol (could be interesting hu) if anyone could throw some light on this I would very much appreciate it and would be very please if a BLF nurse would comment PLEASE

The BLF nurses tend not to comment on posts other than to give their phone number, which is 03000 030 555 - due to not having full details of your condition. Give them a ring, I'm sure they can give you some advice. Hope you feel better soon. xx

I have copd and also have a bad back and also try to avoid twisting, it is very painful when inflamed. I also suffer with gastritis, inflamation of the stomach for which I take Gaviston. I think side effects from medication may have an effect on my stomach.Back pain can also cause breathing problems as advised by a hospital nurse. Would mention the problem to your GP again if there is no improvement soon. Joyce

Sounds a bit like a urinary infection to me. Drink plenty of barley water, not the bottled stuff, buy barley boil and strain. Leave to cool and drink.

I have never had this with COPD but I only have it very mild. I think your best best is to go to your doctor or as scrobs says call BLF. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Can't say my husband suffers with these symptoms. Please ring the BLF nurse and hope they can give you some advise. TADxx
