Hi magsi, welcome to quit support, Majority of us smokers have copd. Firstly giving up smoking is the best medicine you can give yourself. I dont know what medication the doctors have given you but I am sure it will help. try Emjays breathing exercises they do help. just go into hints and tips and you should find them. I am sure Emjay our advisor will contact you soon. well done ! stay positive. :)

Aup Magsi, its lovely to see ya gal :) and a big welcome to this site :)

Like Jillygirl has said, I think the first thing you have to do is quit the smokes gal, hmmmm, easier said than done eh :o I'm not sure how long you have been quit for, but if you need any help, then just ask !! as simple as that :)

I dont know whether you have been to the NHS web site for COPD, but its worth a look :) I hope the link to it works :)

Take care now Magsi, please keep in touch eh :) Pete :)
