Pulmonary hypertension
I have widespread acute
emphysema
and have been placed on portable oxygen 4L which is all good, certainly helps when exercising. Yesterday I had a echograph completed and the specialist informed me - yes definite pulmonary hypertension and he will form a report to my doctor.

GHK-CU reverses emphysema???
Hello Everybody, I have been told repeatedly that there is not a cure for
emphysema
; however, these reputable government-backed studies state in no uncertain terms that the copper tripeptide GHK-CU reverses
emphysema
(or COPD, depending on the study) and promotes pulmonary healing.

FIBROSIS!!!
Full lung/chest scan showed nothing else apart from my known bullous
emphysema
, no follow ups required as these two were taken out. Is this right and will it return?

Emphysema and Hypochondria
Hello Everybody, I (38/m) was recently diagnosed with
emphysema
. I have not taken any PFTs, so I do not know the extent. The original (ER) doctor told me to quit smoking to stay off oxygen when I'm 80, and a general practitioner said I am 'more moderate than mild'.

Help please
I have
emphysema
due to my working life over the last 45 years. I'm currently going through several tests due to my condition getting much worse. I've just turned 61 and can't retire until 66 but I can't continue with my job due to the condition. How do I get help, please?

Difficult few weeks
I am borderline stage 4 COPD with Chronic Bronchitis and
Emphysema
. I also have severe osteoarthritis in my spine, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and more. A few weeks ago I collapsed with a suspected mini stroke and was rushed into hospital for a week on blue lights.

Many thanks!
Can I just say many thanks to all the people who posted their comments on the forum, after I reported my GP has a policy of withholding Consultants diagnosis to patients, and I only discovered I had
Emphysema
and Pulmonary Fibrosis by chance last year.

How should I know
My dx was
emphysema
with "some" asthma. I always tell the nurse, politely, how can I differentiate asthma symptoms from
emphysema
symptoms? I always fill out the form, but it seems kind of useless to me since I don't know which disease is causing my symptoms. I suspect it's more the
emphysema
.

My GP concealed my Consultants diagnosis!
Many people may remember me posting that my GP and COPD nurse conspired to withhold my Consultants diagnosis from me, and I only found out by CHANCE last December when I sneaked a look at the COPD Nurses computer, and discovered I had been diagnosed with
Emphysema
, and Pulmonary Fibrosis!
