Lung Nodules??
I was told that the
emphysema
is not that bad and I rarely have a cough. I am usually the last one to get sick, if I do at all. I was told about two weeks ago that I have a 7mm nodule on my lower right lung and a couple of 3mm ones as well.

My first post.
Is that because of the
emphysema
? Otherwise no real discomfort just tired (sleepy and physically) all the time. I'm glad I found this site and look forward to joining in.

Swollen ankles
I was recently diagnosed stage 4 pulmonary fibrosis and COPD
emphysema
- can anyone tell me if I should be concerned about swollen ankles? I ask this bc they were vigilant about checking my ankles in the hospital.

As you will see by the title I'm new to this community having been diagnosed with COPD (
EMPHYSEMA
) yesterday. This diagnosis came as something of a relief as I thought I had IPF, which I believe has a worse prognosis.

Anyone familiar with Mepolizumab (Nucala or Xolair)
A little backstory: My husband has poorly controlled asthma, stage3/4 COPD, and some
emphysema
. He's 63, quit smoking about 23 years ago after about that many years as a smoker. This past winter, he had several severe exacerbations.

An Innovative Therapy for COPD Patients
Thanks Mark Patients suffering from
emphysema
increasingly have problems during breathing. Their respiratory capacity diminishes severely and even simple physical tasks become overwhelming obstacles. Now there is an innovative and proven minimally invasive treatment available.

Paint and COPD/emphysema
We desperately need to do some home repair. Going to have someone do it, drywall, knockdown and paint the whole house. I will of course leave for the drywall/knockdown because of the dust but what about the paint? There is a paint they say they use in hospitals here in the US called Harmony by Sherwin

COPD
Yesterday I had an appointment with the consultant and after an xray he told me that I now have severe
emphysema
and said that my right lung had enlarged and that possibly it was pressing on a nerve. At present I am taking three types of inhale, lanzoprasole, gabapentin and many paracetomol.

Any info on a bulla on the lung would be appreciated!!
Also mild
emphysema
. I have smoked 1/2 to 1 pack cigs for last 29 years. What is a bulla and do they grow fast, etc, etc. I'm in good shape, no breathing problems, etc, etc. I've been worrying myself sick over this. Dr. Said to repeat scan in a year. I'm doing it in 6 months for piece of mind.
