Copd temperature control
I really don't know if this is common but I've got
emphysema
and mild bronchiectasis and I'm finding that any exertion makes me sweat cobs. Does anyone else find this? I'm currently between chest infections and only on 'incruse '

COPD Newbie
One question I have is this: What is the life expectancy once one is diagnosed with
emphysema
/COPD. I GOOGLED it and it said 5 to 7 years. Is this true?? My health is deteriorating rapidly. This morning I used my pulse oximeter and is said 73!!!! That’s crazy bad.

You Don't Sometimes Know Whats Worse
Today was quite event full day did lot of coughing THEN bang coughed up something that looked like
emphysema
. Well shoved it under microscope AND was a fruit fly GOSH how rank is that hairy legs and all EK :P A think coughing up lung tissue is easer on the eyes than a fruit fly.

Scared and worried
He had been having trouble breathing and as he has
emphysema
and ascites we went along to A & E yesterday to see if his ascites needed a further drain. Darent Valley were excellent and they done bloods and an ECG within 45 minutes. We were seen by a doctor who also wanted a chest x-ray.

Stomach problems.
I've had Fibromyalgia,
Emphysema
, Degenerative Disc Disease and other health problems for years. I'm on a cocktail of medication, the main one being Gabapentin. I take 600 - 900 mg 3 x a day. I use to be on Naproxen but got taken off them.

Pure emphysema
So even if FEV1/FVC is normal, because of high RV, I guess I have stage 4
emphysema
? However I can still run 2 km in a reasonable time and walking long distances. Strange. Please clarify. Thanks.

COPD Cough
Emphysema
for the past 27 years and never really had a bad cough apart from with a chest infection. This past 3 months however I have had a really annoying cough with a fair amount of cream phlegm, went to the GP who sent me for a chest x-ray which has come back clear so all good in that respect.

Awaiting liver transplant - Kings College Hospital
Unfortunately he was then diagnosed with COPD (
Emphysema
) and in December 2016 suffered an extensive SMV thrombosis. According to his blood test results he is not in immediate need of a transplant but when he was seen by the surgeon he said Les had to have one within 6 months.

Introduction
I have severe
emphysema
and am a CO2 retainer. I have always suffered infections after colds and had been reporting breathlessness for 5 years. As I had Breast Cancer this led to 2 further oncology referrals which were clear but nothing else.
