COPD Review

I had my COPD review today. A score of 3 on the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) breathlessness scale indicates that you stop breathing after about 100 yards or a few minutes of walking on flat ground, and that your condition is worsening.

that’s not great news I have had a full diagnosis just carried out following a second opinion and will have a full assessment soon as I get out of breath climbing the stairs so I really feel for you.

You don't "stop breathing". You need to stop walking and catch your breath.
