Smoking isn't the only cause, just the most prominent. COPD can be one of several ailments like Chromic Bronchitis wich us inflamed bronchiolitis. Or Emphyzema which.deals wit scarring in the airways. Id start with narrowing down what you have, then work on the how you got it.

I know that probably doesn't help. I'm sorry.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunatly this does happen. My advice would be to learn as much about COPD that you can and take the necessary steps. Your young which helps alot. My dad was 78 and died as a result of phneumonia and COPD on the 23/12/16. Miss him so much. Got the funeral this friday. But he was a born again Christian just like me so I will see him again. Take care sassy.

I've posted about vitamin C here before. Taking it in high doses would likely help a lot in any kind of infection.

Most of us have health issues of one kind or another. We can't always know exactly why.

Disease has an emotional as well as a physical aspect. Anyway, hope you try the C. Let me know if you have any questions, since I've been researching it a lot.
