I have had emphysema for a few years. Anxiety makes it worse. The breathing meds don't help much. Worried about the death from this.

I am sorry you are so worried. Hopefully one of the moderators will return to the site and give advice.

Hi Reww: Scares me too but we have to live with it. I don't take any meds, I'm more scared of them!

My mom died from copd. I took care of her with hospice. When she passed it was very calm and quick no suffering at all.
