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

Great news!!
I am 75 years old, did not change my diet, dont get much exercise because of
emphysema
, and for me it's a miracle that the results are so fantastic. I am on 100mg ibrance and will drop to 75 now.

Painful back/chest
I was diagnosed with severe
emphysema
in November, I went to my Dr with back and chest pain- was sent to hospital had a scan and X-ray where the
emphysema
was discovered. The thing is the back and chest pain persists and I’ve been on co- codamol since November.

COPD and painkillers

Emphysema

emphysema
, chronic bronchitis, bronchiestasis, etc....all under the umbrella of copd.

Has This Happened to You?
Pulmonologist said
emphysema
exacerbation. 5 days of prednisone improved my breathing until I ran out of it. Quite coincidentally 1/7 went to GP for a leg wound. He gave me 7 days of antibiotic. Now my breathing is improving every day (thank God).

Can anyone suggest some simple breathing and physical exercises to start my recovery from breathlessness?
I have
emphysema
but before a spell in hospital for an infection I could at least walk and do normal things albeit slowly. Now the slightest exertion renders me totally breathless. I would like to regain my previous standard, John

Fibroscan request 4 years after transplant
He recently had a diagnosis of asbestosis and
emphysema
. He is a type 2 diabetic and this seems to be causing him problems and is out of control. He recently had an ultrasound scan of his liver which seems to be causing some issues.
