He did and advised me that he is 99% sure I have COPD/
Emphysema
and that I will be required to have a scan and see "the consultant". I was advised that an appointment will be sent to me shortly. That was just over 4 weeks ago.

New emphysema diagnosis
Just had
emphysema
diagnosed following chest X-ray. Spirometer test next stop but likely to be a while given Covid-19. Told it is mild and I am still active 59 yr old, but I am a little anxious to understand how this might progress pending speaking to a medical professional whenever that might be.

I've waited 68 years to get a disease I never heard of!
Of course not being able to seek medical help with the pandemic ( and with mild
emphysema
and moderate asthma) I consulted Dr. Google. My underarm looked like most of the HS pictures.

Is it just a cold or...
As a person with lung disease (
emphysema
) it doesn't really matter in a way. Just a cold...to compromised lung person often turn to pneumonia and chest infections. Maybe its just more likely to catch the covid?

Isolation letter
I was told I had slight
emphysema
a few years ago and given an inhaler. When I went to see my GP some time later with another matter he said I didn't need an inhaler and I was fine but ever since I have had bronchiostasus on my list of conditions.

COPD WHAT FORM OF DISEASE COULD I HAVE?
COPD - IS IT
EMPHYSEMA
? I’ve had mild COPD for a number of years. When I had my last spirometry I asked the respiratory nurse what form my disease was, ie, was it
emphysema
or chronic bronchitis?
