New Here
New here and to the
emphysema
diagnosis, glad to have found this place. So much to absorb and learn. I live in South Florida. Does not seem to be a lot on the web about this. My first question is should I be taking medications?

Weight gain and Emphysema
Just wondering if anyone else with
Emphysema
/ Copd has experienced weight gain. I know I can't do as much as I used to but I don't eat a lot and I don't eat sweet things like chocolate.

Trying to stay positive.
I guess I was just expecting better news. 2 yrs ago they told me I had a touch of
emphysema
, now both my lungs are affected. Oh well, keep up with the walking and exercises, keep laughing and stay positive .

Son home on leave do I, don't I.....? 😀
He's not aware of my recent diagnosis, I've kept it from him for months (
emphysema
- and possible Lung cancer) my first appointment with a respiratory consultant isn't until May. So I'm no nearer to my diagnosis until then.

Short of breath
I do have mild
emphysema
(per cat scan) but the doc says it isn't bad enough to cause that severe of SOB. Any comments or suggestions?

Improvement
Twelve years ago I was diagnosed with
emphysema
and activity activated asthma. My symptoms steadily got worse - until this year. I can't explain why I am so much improved - it seems unreal. I did lose weight, about 30 lbs - but never was heavy - now I weigh 120 lbs, less than I did in college.

Just need to vent.
I hate having bullous
emphysema
. It's advancing so fast and a year ago I only had a cough, now my bullies keep growing. Keep getting infection after infection. I have a 2 year old, I can barely keep up with her. I just want to sleep. I don't know how people manage COPD for years!

MD
I was told I had very severe pulmonary
emphysema
in Oct. by my pft test taken. My first pulmonary visit is Thurs. Strangely enough I'm not scared. I'm only breathless upon exertion, and so far only on Anoro and spiriva and an emergency inhaler.
