Smells
I’ve got
emphysema
and bronchiectasis. Was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. Had something like 6 courses of anti bios and steroids over the last few months. My wife still smokes but is really good about leaving the room to spare me the second hand smoke.

Emphysema
My partner was told last week he has
emphysema
and 52% lung function. He was prescribed a "puffer" like u get for asthma. He has to go back to hospital I'm guessing for more tests next month. I'm so worried but wondering what will happen now?

I care for my 81 year old husband who has severe COPD/
emphysema
and is on oxygen 16/24 hours.. He's just gone into respite care for 2 weeks so I can get a much needed break.

I have emphysema and copd.
I am new on here, hello all. I would just like to urge anyone with a similar condition to see about going to the Pulmonary rehab classes. I have been going since August 2017 and it has helped me no end with coping with breathlessness and has made me feel a lot better. I stopped playing bowls because

Need some advice please
Mild apical
emphysema
on Ct scan. I have had asthma all my life. Smoked for years, trying to quit again, its a struggle! Last fall on my Ct scan also showed a mass in my thyroid, so large my trachea was deviated. So the beginning of November had to have half of it removed.

Devastated, I think I have IPF
Another uncle is suffering with
emphysema
. Their mum died of COPD and
emphysema
back in 2005. I also believe their mum’s. 2 brother possibly died of some sort of lung condition. I’m feeling slightly breathless, my heart feels like it racing most days.

Emphysema
I'd like to join discussions about
emphysema
. I was diagnosed 12 years ago. I am now 79. I believe I am in the moderate state. FEV 63%. I just started oxygen around the clock at 2L. Did you guys know we should all be on a special diet to live longer? If you have a computer, look it up.
