O2 levels suddenly drop
Been diagnosed with
emphysema
for a few years and my O2 levels have been stable, in the last few weeks the have settled at 90/91 but randomly without warning dip to the mid 80’s for anything from a few seconds to upto 5mins. Does anyone else experience this?

Nasal drip
Been prescribed two different nasal sprays both of which made me more SOB as I have stage4
emphysema
. Also tried different brands of antihistamines. Whenever I use my oxygen phlegm slides down back of nose and collects at the back of throat.

Many thanks
My thanks to all who answered my question, Is it
emphysema
or anxiety? I know I have nothing to complain about and others are far worse off than me yet remain positive.

Lung Function Tests
My consultant has said they can’t interpret the results, it isn’t worth trying again, my ct scan showed mild
emphysema
in the top right lung but she doesn’t want to label me as having
emphysema
and said this would not be affecting my breathlessness?

Emphysema
Does it continue to progress even if you no longer smoke? Or does it slow down or stop.

Relationship with alcohol
My brother became a heroine addict and then died from alpha1 deficiency related
emphysema
. I then developed a host of illnesses, graves disease thyroid eye disease .M.E .and pancreatic insufficiency. Perhaps I saw alcohol as a way of relieving stress ,I probably drank too quickly.

Cell death discovery could lead to new treatment for COPD
Research shows that inhibiting necroptosis, a form of cell death, could be a novel therapeutic approach for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an inflammatory lung condition, also known as
emphysema
, that makes it difficult to breathe.

Who else was shocked!!
Louis because I have severe
emphysema
and was meeting with the Surgeon in February, 2021, to schedule the surgery. The day of this appointment I had a CT scan done of my lungs just to make sure all was good to go and low and behold they found bone lesions.

Recommendation oximeter that copes with movement
Diagnosed by CT scan recently with
Emphysema
. Lung Function test will be July and OP appt chest clinic in August. I have a Kinetic oximeter but it does not cope with movement so difficult to gauge walking/ exercise impact. Most models I have seen have same caveat.

Emphysema & Showers
Good morning all, I was wondering whether there is anyone here, suffering from
emphysema
and COPD, who find that the steam from showers, wet weather, or high humidity worsens their breathing?
