Hello, does anyone else have problems with their inhalers causing terribly bad breath?
I am 56 years old and was diagnosed with
Emphysema
two years ago, I manage to stay fairly well with the use of Spiriva and Braltus inhalers, plus a low dose of Prednisolone every day. My problem is that I have very pungent bad breath, and body odour most of the time.

Hyacinth bulbs causing breathing difficulties?
I don't have asthma, my problem is
emphysema
. And I have never had hay fever. My question is, could it be the hyacinth flowers, as I don't feel as though I have a chest infection. Also a happy New year to you all and I wish you easy breathing. Pat xxx

CT Scan
I have suffered from COPD/
Emphysema
for some 28 years now but been suffering from phlegm and cough for the past 9 months which nothing will stop or clear up. The doctor now thinks it may be bronchochitesis (Spelling probably incorrect) so going for a CT scan on 10th Jan.

Having difficulty coming to terms with mild emphysema diagnosis - anxiety and feelings of hopelessness.
Hi Everyone, I’ve been visiting this site regularly since just before Christmas when a CT scan report came back showing ‘Mild Centrilobular
Emphysema
’. I had the CT due to finding some blood in my mouth after brushing my teeth (this ended up being from my nose, not my lungs).

DePrescribing Site Woes
I can tell you though that it aggravated my
emphysema
in the form of increased breathlessness, weakness, tiredness and general 'crappiness'.

emphysema
since I get short of breath from walking around the block and smoked for 15 years (now quit). I’ve read about the liver and lung damage caused by this disease am scared to death I won’t make it to 60!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
As you all know this year at 32 I was diagnosed with
emphysema
and asthma; which was a massive shock to say the least, after that the confusion and fear set in; and throughout that people of this group have helped me through! I couldn’t of done it without this support group.

Emphysema does it feel more like a tightness in the throat or chest.
Could someone please explain to me whether the obstruction felt in breathing with
emphysema
is purely in the chest. Or does anyone feel that there is a restriction or more accurately a tightness in the throat area. If I lower my Adam's apple My breathing is pretty much ok.

Incruse / Anoro
Been on the Incruse inhaler for the past three months after a mri scan showed
emphysema
. The inhaler was changed today to Anoro inhaler. Does anybody know what the reasons would be for the change. I go back to the Dr's in a months time for another spirometry

Battling cold
I've got my first cold since
emphysema
/asthma diagnosis two years ago. Mainly a nasty cough, which is not typical of my condition. My questions is at what point do I call my GP or pulmonologist? Also, which one of them would you call? I've only had it for two days.

Can an asthma nurse tell if I have asthma when I have emphysema
Only recently was it found that I have some
emphysema
after a ct scan for a heart operation. Nobody even mentioned it. I found it in my medical notes a year later. My question is can an asthma nurse tell if I actually have any asthma at all. I realise you can have both.

Granpa's watch.
Emphysema
my grandpa had, His cough was really bad. The watch he had was very old He told me it was made of gold. My grandma said he was sold a pup. But grandpa said that he'd coughed it up.

I have emphysema but was treated for asthma. How can they tell if I have both or just emphysema.
Basically I have been shown to have
emphysema
after a ct scan for a heart op. I already have a steroid inhaler and rescue inhaler given to me by my gp surgery for the last 3 years or so. What I want to know is can an asthma nurse be sure I have any asthma?
