Target Lung Health Check
I recently went for a Lung CT scan the results show I have mild
emphysema
and C A C the later is probably known about as I have heart/circulation issues which I always related my breathlessness to, but now been told I have
emphysema
I began to think this could be a issue?

Copd & blocked sinuses
I’ve had Copd for over 11 yrs (
emphysema
) and it’s been Moderate for some time but believe it’s now severe. More recently I’ve developed blocked sinuses and despite the usual decongestants, steroid nasal sprays and now antibiotics I can’t clear it completely.

Another stupid question
I have CPFE (combined pulmonary fibrosis and
emphysema
) and have noticed that with the change in the weather my breathing has improved, however I seem to be struggling with a persistent cough and catarrh.

Bemused
It will be interesting to see if my management plan for
Emphysema
is updated and copied to me as in previous two years. I am still stunned by this review as apparently the brevity is due to Covid. Anyone else's GP surgery now doing this?

Emphysema on Lung Health Scan
I have mild
emphysema
FVC/FEV1 ratio 65% FVC % of normal 119% FEV1% of normal 104% I recently had a lung health check for cancer ( negative ) but there was no mention of
emphysema
on my letter --- I asked my doctor this morning & he said it probably didn't show up because your lung damage is mild

How Quickly did your emphysema progress
The doctor said it was nothing then Christmas just gone I got a chest infection which made my breathing worse -- breathing more deeply uphill or hurrying etc & was diagmosed with mild
emphysema
in April.

Stage 3 curative?
HiMy mum (76 years old with COPD and
emphysema
) was diagnosed on 17 June with stage 3 nsclc with localised spread to a rib and lymph node. She has her 20th and last radiotherapy dose tomorrow. The oncologist said he was aiming for curative. There has been no mention of chemo or targeted therapy.

Emphysema
Still not sure what it was although it says on a letter I received - moderate centrilobular emphyematous lungs with upper lobe predominance. 16th December had a spiro test and was told I didn't have
emphysema
I had asthma.

Unusual prescription?
A CT scan at a Targeted Lung Check last year revealed mild
emphysema
and "coronary artery calcification". The ensuing ECG indicated heart block (LAFB). Following an ultrasound last Thursday, I was prescribed these: Bisoprolol Fumarate 1.25mg. one daily. (beta blocker) Inspra 25mg (eplerenone).
