New to site and husband newly diagnosed with copd.
He showed us the ct scan and pointed out that there was "just a tiny bit of
emphysema
" on the top of his lungs (he was a former smoker). Said he wanted to do a breathing test to make sure the pleural effusion wasn't causing breathing issues. My husband wasn't having any issues whatsoever but ok.

PIP FOR COPD
I have read the assessment report, which showed the assessor had no understanding of
emphysema
/copd whatsoever. She seemed to believe that because I had muscular strength, there was nothing wrong with me.

I need to find a way forward after damaging my lungs
A recent CT scan showed that I have moderate
emphysema
but I have 37% lung function left so am severe. I came on here tonight as I have been very unwell for the last few days. Very breathless and lots of mucus. Taking prednisolone and antibiotics at present.

Working with emphysema
I I work as a carer in the community and have mild
emphysema
. When I was diagnosed, I went to my employers and explained the state of play. My job entails waiting around in my car, sometimes over an hour, to go in to my next client.

COPD or not COPD ?
The reason I mention this is that I wonder how many people out there are in a similar condition as being diagnosed with COPD yet don't have full blown
emphysema
but can't quite understand how bad their lungs are . .an ambiguous condition . .I am taking other steps to optimise my breathing such as cutting

Copd and afib
I was interested in learning how many people with
emphysema
also have atrial fibrillation. I have read that there is a connection between these two conditions. Could you tell me if you have both. Thank you.
