Stage II COPD
And now the pulmo specialists says I have
emphysema
and made an appointment for pulmonary rehab. The above is a horrible wake up call, one I didn't want to get. I'm only 33 and those numbers put me in the 60+ smokers demographic. It's just a horrible feeling.

Scar on lung.
No mention of this in medical records - COPD or
Emphysema
are mentioned. So I googled scar on lung and I get Cystic Fibrosis - I think I can discount that. It also mentions Fibrosis - I never see that term on my GP record I can access on line.

Newly diagnosed with emphysema.
I saw consultant at hospital who advised a CT scan has shown moderate
emphysema
. It was a Colon consultant who wasn't able to or didn't want to expand on this. Told me to see my GP but he's on holiday so I'm quite stressed as I can't see him until the end of the month.

Struggling a bit..
Diagnosed with copd (
emphysema
and bronchiectasis) about a year ago. Over the last two months I've been on three different antibiotics for two weeks each time, along with steroids and two different inhalers.

Gone from severe to very severe emphysema but things still look promising!
from 'severe' to 'very severe'
emphysema
COPD. I guess that's because my FEV1 is now down to 28%.

Can anyone answer this one?
Hi, I have really bad
emphysema
, and am about to take early retirement due to poor health. I was curious to find out if it's possible to get a mobility scooter on the nhs? My husband was looking at buying one but they cost so much and our finances are not good.
