Fiance 32 diagnosed with mild emphysema from ct scan
Hi all. I'm wondering what our next steps are? I'm not sure how to console him right now. Are ct scans 100% correct? What is his life expectancy? We have two beautiful children together and I have so many questions and concerns. I am just so sad. Yes he is a smoker.

End of my rope
I think I've learned through this forum that nothing helps with
emphysema
. You might see some changes with chronic bronchitis and asthma, but
emphysema
seems to respond to nothing. I'm on 3 different inhalers. I exercise. That's a joke. Exercise does nothing.

32; with emphysema
Hello I have been diagnosed with
emphysema
and maybe asthma also, I’m 32 years old and currently struggling with the concept, they think I have alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency but I haven’t had the test results back from this yet. Is there anyone else with
emphysema
at a young age?

More on cancelation
Then I drove up to the golf course and played 11 holes (I rode in a cart) I'm wondering if my
emphysema
has gone from moderate to severe. I felt quit crappy playing golf, but I did manage a few pars. Also walked the dog this morning. So for me a pretty active day.

Thank you everyone!
What a fortnight it’s been from having chest pains, to querying
emphysema
, to spirometry tests to a phone call just now from the consultant I seen privately. He rang to tell me he’s had the ct reviewed by a chest radiologist and there is no
emphysema

Emphysema query
Anyway the short of it is after having a ct scan the radiographer reported no clot, but the doctor has said he see’s
emphysema
changes. what is the likely hood that
emphysema
would cause symptoms so suddenly? And if something has shown on my ct scan can
emphysema
look like anything else?

Exercising
Hello As you all know I have
emphysema
and asthma; I’ve been put on medication and have not smoked for 3 and a half months. If you are in a position to do exercise, what exercise do you all do to try and keep yourselfs fit and active? And what keeps you motivated? Exercising is my next goal!

Confused and needing help!
Hi Everyone, I have
emphysema
, stage 3/4 - 34% Fev 1 - last year. I have been dismissed by the lung consultant and went to see my GP, as I was having possible side effects from Spiriva Respimat.

Yippie!!!
I saw my consultant yesterday about my
emphysema
and copd. He asked how I was coping with my medication, which I have been on for nearly a year now. I said it seemed to fit the bill as I am usually feeling quite good.

Had my new breathing test
She told me my
emphysema
/asthma is "mild." She listened to my heart and lungs. I had an x-ray just two months ago. She says my lungs are clear. So now my doctor seems to agree with everybody else that a lot of this "is in my head."

Breath Easy groups
I have severe COPD, both chronic bronchitis and
emphysema
. I contacted the BLF about setting up a Breath Easy group in my area. I help run a friendship group with over 1600 members so thought it would be a great thing to start up for myself and the others in the group with lung conditions.

Living with COPD
Could it be cause I have
emphysema
as well? Should I try using Vicks again and see if it works? Suggestions are welcome. Glad to have found this group
