Not really a question
I'm pretty much assuming I'll be dead before a vaccine is available for a 68-year-old with
emphysema
. Is this how it is in England as well? The few vaccines that have been administered seem to have been done in a very haphazard way.

Stomach fluttering
My partner has
emphysema
and when reclining his stomach flutters when he breathes, just under ribs. Why is this?

Should my husband quit his job to keep me safe?
I'm 69, COPD/
emphysema
. FEV1 only 27% at last check a few years ago. Should he quit his job for my safety? My income is only $1,250/mo from Social Security after paying for Medicare. We live in California, U.S.A. and we don't know if he can get unemployment assistance. Any advice?

Is nasal breathing ( inhaling and exhaling through the nose) better for emphysema ?
I am talking specifically about this as it relates to
emphysema
. I have read that especially when we exhale through the nose, we breathe out slower than we do through the mouth and therefore we are able to absorb more oxygen into our lungs.
