Every breath I take...
I am 77, I was diagnosed with
emphysema
and bronchiectasis 12 years ago and am now number 4, severe ,on the FEV1 scale. I have strained the ticker for too long now and it is showing signs of needing an MoT, except that is not available. I am teetering on the brink of oxygen.

Cavitating lesion
Breathing has always been a problem due to
emphysema
, but has lately got worse - X-rays, CT Scan and now PET scan show I have a 5cm "cavitating lesion" in that same lung (apparently it is like a doughnut creating a hole within the lung). I just wondered if anyone else has had such a thing??

My 77 year old father has COVID
My dad is 77 with
emphysema
, as he used to be a smoker but hasn’t in years. Was fine before this all happened. We didn’t even know he had
emphysema
to the extent they are saying.

Not good..
My GP believes that the mild
emphysema
diagnosed after the scan doesn't explain these symptoms so I am a bit lost. in fact, I find even difficult how to explain them ,but something is not right. Even the GP is not sure of what to do next. ENT referral?

Mild emphysema, please advice. Confused
Good morning all, It would be great if someone with this condition could describe their symptoms when resting, watching tv, going to sleep, etc. How is your breathing/ chest then? Thank you xxx M

new diagnosis
I also have
emphysema
so they do not want to do a lung biopsy.
