Feeling overwhelmed
After a routine lung screening CT scan I was diagnosed with mild
emphysema
and some calcification of my heart arteries. I was also referred for a further high definition CT Scan to confirm bronchiectasis.

PIP when on oxygen 24/7
I've had COPD (
emphysema
) for several years but over the course of the last few weeks I've experienced a rapid decline in my breathing to the degree I could only walk a few metres before being totally out of breath.

As I have COPD and
emphysema
I took this seriously and spoke by phone with an ENT doctor colleague of my consultant who claimed he had never heard of it. So, I would appreciate comments from anyone here having similar experience. Many thanks, FormerT.

Breathing anxiety when travelling on buses
I have
Emphysema
and I just wanted to ask members if anyone suddenly starts to have difficulty breathing when getting on public transport especially when the bus is quite full.

Rejected mandatory reconsideration
Scored zero on everything Since having my assessment on the 12/10 I sent in my mandatory reconsideration on the 23/10 and stated to them that since my assessment I'd been diagnosed with having
emphysema
and now have an inhaler.

newly diagnosed COPD
My dad had
emphysema
and was on oxygen. Im terrified I end up as he did before he sadly passed away. I was told my COPD is mild but reading all the stuff on internet it says it progresses. I feel like I’ve been given a death sentence and can randomly burst into tears.

Recently Diagnosed
However, I have an appointment with my GP end of this month as the scan showed I have mild centrilobular
emphysema
. Shocked 😲 to say the least!! I'm trying to find out as much info as possible before my appointment.

DC Cardioversion
The net result was that my lungs were normal, and a low key level of
emphysema
was not a contributory factor towards my breathlessness, particularly when the oximeter reading was 99%.

ct angiogram
So I went to see about it and had a ct angiogram which they said was fine and they didn’t pick up anything, although they did pick up some
emphysema
on the lungs by looking at ct angiogram. I’ve been waiting 9 months on respiratory clinic waiting list.

Trimbow
I had just got over flu when I saw my respiratory consultant and he said my lungs were clear but the scan said I had grade 2 obstructive airway disease secondary to post covid bronchiolitis and radiological
emphysema
with normal gas transfer and minimal fibrotic ILD.

Humidity and heat
Hello, I have asthma and my husband has pulmonary fibrosis and
emphysema
, we are both finding it hard with the heat and humidity. Does anyone know if it helps to reduce the humidity by using a dehumidifier?
