Felt poorly, result chest infection.

Emphysema
is the same as it was 2 years ago (nice one) and I did not have a blood clot (nice one) I did not have pneumonia (nice one) but I did have a chest infection (bad one).

Help
I have also read that lung problems can be connected. 2 years ago I was also diagnosed with COPD,
Emphysema
. I can't lie down flat due to this as I have difficulty breathing if I do. I have a Braltus inhalator to use each morning to open my Airways and a Salbutamol pump to use throughout the day.

Stage 3 Emphysema, Now What?
I have just been told I have Stage 3
emphysema
. How is this possible to deteriorate so quickly. I have followed all the doctors' orders, All the specialists, the resperologists, you name it, I have seen it. Now I am oxygen, but I only need it when I climb stairs or walk great distances.

Wanting to karate chop doctor!!!
He was contradicting everything the nurse had told me and my Spiro tests results which state severe obstruction, he even said
emphysema
is not copd!!! Anyway at long last he has agreed to refer me to a chest specialist so hopefully I will get some answers.

CT Scan is a-coming!
I’m really hoping to finally get a clear diagnosis - IPF or no IPF, COPD stage 3,
Emphysema
, chronic bronchitis etc - bring it on! Just lay it on the table and give me the news, good or bad so that I can move on!

Emphyzema

Repair Alveoli?
I have been following with great interest the research being done in the field of vitamin A and
emphysema
. The theory (and question) is why does
emphysema
continue to progress long after the original causation has ceased? (i.e. smoking for example.

Cake
My husband has severe
emphysema
and bronchiectasis diagnosed when he was 28 after a childhood with repeated bronchitis. I thought you might like to see his 75th birthday cake. Some people have been horrified, but most, like us, and more importantly he, thought it was very funny.

Asthma copd overlap.
While I was in hospital having a ct scan they found
emphysema
. So then I'm having a panic etc. Went for Spirometry only a few months ago and it seems I have asthma too. As I get %18 reversibility and once I've had 4 puffs of ventolin my Spirometry just about creeps into the low end of normal fev1.
