Hello Shezncol and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear about your heart attack. It must have been very frightening for you. I hope you are now recovering from that.

"Significant elite active copd" - That's a new one on me too! Sounds as though you've ended up with a classier version of copd than the rest of us One of our knowledgeable members may be along soon with an explanation, or you could call the BLF Helpline (03000 030 555) on Monday with your question. I'm sure our expert nurses would have an answer for you.

Please let us all know when you find out.
