10 Myths and Facts About COPD
COPD includes
emphysema
and chronic bronchitis, and it is often a combination of the two. In
emphysema
, the air sacs in the lungs lose their stretchiness and don’t work as well. In chronic bronchitis, irritation and inflammation lead to thick mucus and difficulty breathing.

Just to say HI :)
My yearly spirometry read I have mild obstruction, although my CT say both moderate
emphysema
and bronchiactesis. My lung age is 49 although I am 36, I hope to see a slight improvment as I have only stopped smoking since my diagnosis 1 year before.

Gp diagnosis
Hi I was told by my Gp back in December that I have the start of
emphysema
. I went because I had a cold I could not shake. I have had no tests done, no xrays and I gave been worrying about it ever since. I do struggle with breathing when I run, but should I be getting further tests done?

Interstitial lung disease with no full diagnosis
I've been told I have interstitial lung disease, showing
emphysema
with some fibrosis. But I've not been given a proper diagnosis as everything they've tested for had come back clear. Anyway I just thought I'd introduce myself and share my story.

Need thoughts, advice from people with COPD. Long post, but bear with me
I know you can have
emphysema
, and normal PFT's, but how I feel, I should be late stage, yet the spirometry says otherwise. Many people have early COPD, and no sxs. What gives? I know it affects everyone different, but this is crazy.

Feel short of breath at rest, moving makes it worse. Fast HR. Very anxious.
I am pretty convinced I have
Emphysema
, even tho my spiro has been ok. I know that it something which can be preserved and still have damage to lung tissue. Even tho the spiro is good, I feel like just disappearing. Not sure i could handle having a chronic illness, and I don't even have one yet!
