Nucleic Acid Therapy
Here are a few excerpts: "Once an obstructive disease of the lungs like
emphysema
or chronic bronchitis sets in, nucleic acid therapy does two significant things: It permits the body to make more complete use of the oxygen breathed in, and it loosens the cough, thus reducing uncomfortable congestion.

Aerosure medic respiratory device
I have
emphysema
and last year was diagnosed with bronchiectasis. I am mostly okay, bar the constant throat clearing, but when I get a chest infection it takes a while to clear - had three doses of antibiotics in December and with the last one also had oral steroids.

I haven't posted in quite awhile....Hello everyone!
The surgeon looking at CT Scan results said he classed my copd (
emphysema
) as severe and wanted a clearance from the lung specialist before surgery. Up to that point because I don't have obstruction and have a good FEV 1 (terrible gas exchange though) I had thought I was more moderate.

To Rehab or Not?
My lung function is about 35% at the moment and reducing slowly - I was first diagnosed with COPD/
Emphysema
at the age of 36. Ok, so I would value people's opinions who have completed, or not, Rehab. I went to the first one yesterday.

strained voice
Anyways, I've been diagnosed with
emphysema
, I don't have major problems on a day-to-day basis, have stopped smoking over a year ago, try and walk for at least half an hour a day, sometimes I get breathless sooner than at other times (I've not quite worked out why, I'm guessing it's to do with pollution

Hi, I was just got diagnosed with COPD,
emphysema
. I'm 67 yrs. old. I used to smoke 26 yrs ago for about 22 yrs. I'm blessed to have found this site, as it's always helpful to hear from people who share similar experiences. I was hospitalized 2 months ago with difficulty breathing.
