Father has really bad breathing!!!
He has been told he has mild COPD (
Emphysema
). No lung cancer is present, heart is fine and pumping blood to and from the heart. Can mild
Emphysema
really cause such bad breathing? Has anyone had similar issues? Also, has anyone had the Endobronchial Valves fitted? I hope someone can help.

Update on hubby
I have absolutely no knowledge regarding heart problems associated with
emphysema
so some of you might have some advice for me on that one ? The main thing , as far as I’m concerned is that Geoff is comfortable , cheerful and able to have some quality of life .

Review Thursday with Pulmo
Me again, Curiosity got the better of me and I went for that CT scan of the Thorax, thankfully the lungs were clear and showed no
emphysema
type changes.

Autologous stem cell COPD therapy
The right lung (the only one left) unfortunately suffers from
emphysema
and fibrosis in a minor (stable) form.

Prednisone dosage
I have the following Asbestosis, Pulmatory Fibrosis,
Emphysema
, Chronic Bronchitis. I have a terrible cough and excess mucus day and night can hardly sleep. I've tried to get several doctors to give me prednisone, but they refuse. Medical care in Spain is lacking.

Confusion over diagnosis
However, during a follow-up appointment with a respiratory nurse, the nurse insisted I did have COPD (
emphysema
), as well as asthma, as my TLCO was 4.81 (68% predicted) and should have had a ct scan. I'm very confused, again!, as I don't understand the numbers very well.

Heart rate
Newly diagnosed with
emphysema
but also have upper respiratory problems (chronic sinusitis) which I've been referred to ENT for, just waiting on an appointment. Any help or advice would be much appreciated 🙏

Copd review
I asked how do they know it's
emphysema
and not anything else, she said the spirometry determines this. She has agreed to change my inhaler Anoro for Trimbow to see if there's a difference, because the Anoro didn't seem to be doing anything.

Copd emphysema
Today 26/07/2021 I was told by doctor I have copd. I get abit out of breath. No chest infections or anythink else. I first thought it was because of not being very active due to having chronic lower back pain. Prolapsed disks and a indentation on spinal cord. Feel very lost at the moment so any advice
