Flu won’t go away.
I was diagnosed four years ago with
emphysema
. I have had no symptoms. Six weeks ago I got the flu. It’s been a rough six weeks. Getting my breath back and my energy back. Now every morning I can’t breathe and have to use an inhaler. Never had to before.

lung volume reduction operation
I have been told cannot have the valves fitted into my lungs as severity of my
emphysema
however another heart/chest surgeon says he will carry out the volume reduction surgery.

No lung reduction for me
Hi everyone, hope your all as well as you can be.Well I saw my Respiratory doctor at hospital, and after a meeting with specialist at Guys London, I am not suitable for lung reduction due to the fact that I am stage 3 and lungs are full of
Emphysema
holes, I only have 40% lung function in both lungs

do I need my inhaler ?
I’ve gathered that I have
emphysema
and bronchial wall thickening and other bits. I was given an inhaler spiolto respimat but not really sure if it’s doing anything. So do I take it ?

COPD Progression
I was diagnosed with Mild COPD (
Emphysema
) in 2018 and was asymptomatic and taking no medication until February this year when following a bout of Covid I developed a constant cough brought on by irritation and congestion in my chest which I still have, the cough is often non productive and dry but

Recent COPD diagnosis
I'm new to the Forum and have recently had confirmation of a COPD diagnosis (
emphysema
) after being admitted to hospital with breathing difficulties during a chest infection. I had spirometry tests last October but still have not had results so have no idea where I am on a scale.

I’m at end stage
emphysema
have just come off a dose of prednisone. Felt halfway human and motivated to do small jobs around the house. It felt so good just to make us both a cup of tea What is the reason why GPS are against giving a small does daily just to be able to have some quality of life.

thyroid and common cold
I'm on antibiotics etc but as I have
emphysema
it's worse. Do people find any sickness gets worse due to auto immunity or is it mainly the carbizabole making immunity worse? interested in your answers on both questions. Thanks for listening:)

Result of CT angiogram
That's 5 months after the consultants letter telling me I had lung scarring as well as
emphysema
. The NHS website for my area says first appointment waiting time averages 10 weeks. The clinics must be really busy.

Partner Reaction?
Does anyone else out there struggle with how your partner has reacted to your diagnosis of
emphysema
? Mine says how bad it is for him at the thought of how he'll be able to cope by himself when I die. He says he needs to focus on his own fitness so he can look after me when I go downhill.

Doubtful and discouraged
I am in stage 4
emphysema
and contemplating getting ‘hospice’ involved. At the age of 75 years I thought that some of the big questions might have been answered by now.
