Inhaler vs nebulizer
I have
emphysema
and have been struggling last couple years ending up in ER or hospital. The nebulizer is not that convenient but if it help keep me well it will be worth it. Thanks for you input.

Ex-smoker for 41 years just diagnosed
That was 41 years ago, and I was stunned to just receive a diagnosis of
emphysema
! I've also exercised 3-5 days a week most of my adult life, though a painful knee injury has limited that recently.

Blood test results
I’ve had quite a few flare ups and my
Emphysema
has got abit worse so they’ve changed my inhaler, all because of this hard winter we’ve had. Now the warm weather is here, it’s heat treatment for my back, sorry I’m waffling.

My husband has severe
emphysema
he has plural plaques caused by asbestos we have seen the consultant today who is referring him to the respiratory nurses to check if he needs oxygen which is more than likely, would any one know if hotels will accept people on oxygen as we really need a break, thank

Am I getting the right treatment?
My dad had
emphysema
and I read thay this could be genetic. Should I be having more tests to find if I have a specific condition? COPD seems to be an umbrella term. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thankyou

I'm scared and depressed. Help please.
My father had
emphysema
. I am terrified because I saw him pass away and it was not pretty at all. :( I just don't want to pass gasping for air. Nobody does I suppose. I have cried and cried, and now I know I have to get a grip, or I will not do well at all in the future.
