Sounds good. Keep up the good work.
Hi guyWow maybe it's not copd. Speak to your GP. Just be grateful you don't have breathing problems.
Have you seen a Respirologist and had breathing tests done to evaluate what percentage your lung capacity is? There is no way that I can see you having COPD and doing the work you do, let alone jogging, etc. Good for you. Hopefully you were misdiagnosed.
Not what you're looking for?
