Build up of mucus
I've suffered Bronchietasis and
Emphysema
for the last 5 years as well as other health problems as listed in previous posts. The problem is I've a build up of mucus in my throat and I can't shift it. It's not been this bad for ages.

My breathing has got worse.
I was diagnosed with
Emphysema
in 2011 after a bout of pneumonia which the docs at first said it was a chest infection and since then my health has taken a downhill turn. Sorry for waffling.

New to this forum joined on behalf of elderly mum
Mum was diagnosed with
Emphysema
in the 1980's, she has never smoked but my dad was a heavy smoker which we believe was the cause.

Living With Copd
I was diagnosed with
Emphysema
about 14 years ago. I am still fairly active but have to be more patient. I have heard of a new drug called Stiolto Respimat which is a once a day dual inhaler which apparently is a great improvement on what I use just now, Symbicort and Spiriva.

Breathing problems
I had a bout of pneumonia in 2011 which left me with Bronchiectasis in one lung and
Emphysema
which was mild to moderate. Since having the pneumonia my health has gone downhill as I've been diagnosed with other health problems.

Hit a brick wall
My
Emphysema
seems to have got worse so I'm going to phone the doc on Tuesday and see if I can have a breathing test done. On a positive note, my walk in shower is finished and its heaven, not having the problem of falling out the bath (old shower was above bath) when trying to have a shower.

Recently diagnosed with emphysema at age 67. Never smoked.. Lived healthy active life. They say emphysema caused from bacterial pneumonia
I am in a total panicked state after learning I have emphasema and never smoked. I had pneumonia in February caused by pseudomonas . Spent three weeks in hospital. Am told no cure, and loss of lung function is permanent. I have very hard time breathing, cough in spasms, and am exhausted. I was perfectly
