Bronchiectasis
However, last week I attended the clinic and the nurse there said she doesn’t think I have COPD but Bronchiectasis/
emphysema
. Has anyone else got this and what medication do you take to relieve the symptoms?

emphysema results
hi everyone I have
emphysema
. Just had a spirometry test and my results are Fev1 =50%/1.16 Fev1/Fev6 =0.67/87% fev6 =62% how bad is this? Does it mean I only have half lung capacity? How is everyone managing at this level?

family friend emphysema requesting cbd oil south west
His mother has been diagnosed with
Emphysema
and he is trying to find a pharmacy in Cornwall or Devon that stocks CBD oil with THC in it to provide some relief for her. A US friend said this had helped his father who had COPD.

Travelling with Emphysema
Hi I have been lucky enough to have experienced a modicum of travel and really enjoyed it. Now, however, I find that it requires so much planning it almost seems too much of a bother to even try. I would welcome any tips that others have found helped them to continue enjoying travel. My abilities

Feeling drained with NHS where I live
Hello everyone, so I have stage 4
emphysema
and I am currently on ambulatory oxygen mainly for when I'm out and about, and for use at home if needed. My problem is that last time I was admitted to hospital, I was told that I was being referred for zephyr lung valve treatment. This was months go.

Spirometry and COPD/Emphysema.
A nurse has told me that the results from Spirometry seems to suggest the diagnosis is correct for COPD/
Emphysema
, or she said it could be asthma. For me this is a pretty wide gap, and is a bit distressing as I saw my Gradfather pass away from this/

Doing the rounds of doctors again.
To appease her I said I would and it turns out my Mitral valve regurgitation has gotten worse and CT Angio shows slight
Emphysema
. Cardio is trying to rule out lung disease, as he thinks it's rare but not unknown in non smokers.

COPD/Emphysema
can anyone recommend something that would help break up mucus on lungs as my son is struggling to get anything up and he has been very poorly. I have requested Carbocisteine from gp but he will not prescribe unless son goes to surgery and he is too unwell to do that

bronchietasis
I do not cough up much phlegm , I also suffer from asthma and
Emphysema
. I have low energy levels, is this normal ?, also breathlessness even just sitting down, and a heaviness in the chest. Walking can be difficult, I have to take it slow, not what I am used to.

Dyspnoea..
I have heart problems that could cause Dyspnoea - I suppose
Emphysema
could also. What puzzles me, I went to doctors with breathing problems, she did not put this down to COPD. but
Emphysema
- it is confusing. Any other Asthma or COPD sufferer been diagnosed with
Emphysema
?
