Hyperinflation of the lungs
Emphysema
runs on both sides of my family. It killed my grandmother and grandfather but I am not going to let that tell me what is going on. They started me on Ventilon which seems to help wether I am laying down or standing up.

emphysema
. I am 56 but was diagnosis at the age of 46. I was told they have never seen a person at my age have it as bad as the tests say. But I am lost. I don't cough. I get sick a lot with UTI's and other little things. It that normal.

Hello I am new here
He was a smoker and he now has
emphysema
. I have to do everything for him because he gets out of breath so quickly. He can't walk very far at all. He has been referred back to the respiratory clinic at QA hospital, we just hope that, given time, things will get a bit better for him.

New things happening. Are they symptoms?
I have
Emphysema
and Asthma. Both have been diagnosed quite some time ago. I recently had a review with the specialist who advised that my Emphsema was significant ...... whatever that means.

Diagnosed today with COPD emphysema
Hi all I'm new here I was only told today I have COPD
emphysema
. But I'm left totally confused due to I've been discharged from respiratory clinic. Can I safely assume that any treatment can be done through my local gp surgery, any advice would be greatly received. Many thanks God Bless Ian

Emphysema
. On three different inhalers at the moment(not sure if any are really making a difference!) Off to Majorca tomorrow morning and having just had a couple of bad days,I've started panicking how the flight will go?

Have recently received CT scan results and do not understand them
Dr described
Emphysema
as "significant". I am a 54 year old female and diagnosed with
emphysema
at 38 years. Should I be worried?

What kind of exercise
My father was diagnosed with
emphysema
last March 2017, along with this are bronchiecstasis and interstitial lung disease. I am wondering what kind of exercise he can safely do and how frequent.

Emphysema sufferer 57
I was diagnosed with
emphysema
about three years ago. I was told that my lifetime of smoking has caught up with me, and that I had about ten years of reasonable health left, and that I can prolong this by giving up smoking, through diet and exercise. I did change job for a much more physical one.

This is my first time
After being diagnosed with
emphysema
I joined this side and over the years you gave me so much information it made my life much better. I am very active and not afraid to be out of breath.
