Pain
Hello, I am very grateful for all the support you have shown and I hope I will not bother you because I want to ask whether the upper back pain and the ribs is associated with
emphysema
and has any of you suffered from it?

Exercise
I have
emphysema
asthma called copd as you are probably all aware. I need to get stronger. Is cardio exercise good for me or should I remain doing gentle exercises. I dont mind putting myself through the stress of cardio if it is of benefit . Thank you

Confused
Hi everyone I'm new in diagnosis
emphysema
and just did a CT scan and told me the doctor I was in the early stages of the disease he did not ask me to do any other tests and I was lost and I did not know what to do.

Some Unintended Consequences Are Good!
I have
emphysema
. This past Friday (Today is Saturday) I was diagnosed with the beginning of bronchitis. (That's alway a double treat.) At any rate the usual treatment of prednisone and antibiotics seems to be working.

Air Purifiers ???
I have severe
emphysema
and in more or less desperation I thought I would try an Air Purifier. It arrived today and I have tried it constantly for hours on end and felt no difference in the air whatsoever. Has anyone else tried one and has there been any positive result or otherwise please.

What should happen at my yearly checkup?
About 5 years ago I was told I had
emphysema
. I was told to go for a spirometry test once a year but 2 years ago my nurse changed and she says Spirometry tests are only used for diagnosis so now when I go for yearly checkup she takes my blood pressure and oxygen levels and asks me how I am.

Endoscopy
Has anyone with severe
emphysema
and abnormal air trapping have a Endoscopy done. I am on oxygen as needed, as the doctor said that because of air trapping the oxygen would not help. I get very sob with exercise. It didn't seem to matter to pulmonary doctor.
