Loosing weight and getting very thin!
I have Bronscheitiasis,
Emphysema
and Asthma. Diagnosed 2007. On various meds and inhalers. Now and then my weight would drop when I got worse. I looked up what I should be eating etc and have taken all that on board throughout the years.

Copd emphysema update
Went to doctors on Monday because of increasing breathlessness. Had sinus infection beginning of Feb took prednisone and antibiotics. But had continuing breathlessness. Nurse practitioner checked my chest said it was clear, oxygen levels were 96/97. So she just said it takes a while for lungs to heal

I have severe
emphysema
and this new triple medication inhaler has worked wonders! I don't get out of breath going upstairs anymore, whereas before I used to dread going up the stairs because I would be so breathless!

Hyperinflation of lungs
Hi, I have (almost) been diagnosed with COPD -
emphysema
has been mentioned. This is the result of tightness in chest, increased breathlessness, and a chest xray which shows hyperinflation of the lungs . I also have a sore pain in the left side of my chest, and I have had this for a long time.

Lung reduction.
I was referred for a CT scan which showed chronic
emphysema
& have been referred for either a lung reduction or Zephyr valves. Has anyone had either the zephyr valves or lung reduction? If so could you let me know if either helped, recovery time etc. I'm dreading either to be honest!

Graffiti.
I have bronchiectasis, aspergillus and bullus
emphysema
. Being treated for COPD. What has asthma got to do with it? Fighting for breath is something I don't want to be reminded of especially after two lung collapses in 2018. It's badly thought out and looks unprofessional.

Too long away.
It did not go quite as smoothly as it should have done as I ended up in intensive care with surgical
emphysema
followed by pneumonia. I eventually came home after a month only to catch a severe chest infection after 2 weeks.

Trimbow with emphysema, bronchiectasis and aspergillus causing problems
Last summer my inhalers we’re changed from spiriva and seretide to Trimbow. After an initial period of improvement my breathing got worse but not enough to ring alarm bells. About six weeks ago I suddenly became so breathless that moving from one room to another left me gasping for breath on the point

I am 75 years old, did not change my diet, dont get much exercise because of
emphysema

People of HealthUnlocked - COPD: Preparing for a Double Lung Transplant
With further investigation during my early 20s, I learned I had
emphysema
, a lung condition that causes shortness of breath, and bronchiectasis, a condition in which the lungs’ airways become damaged making it hard to clear mucus.
