For those with Mild Disease or symptoms seeking a diagnosis
Some people are more sensitive to COPD symptoms than others and may be more coherent to mild
emphysema
once they become aware that there is some underlying problem. Others, mostly those who are very sedentary, won't notice COPD or
emphysema
till it's much more advanced.

I've told you...you have
emphysema

He said I do not have
emphysema
nor bronchitis, but I do have COPD. He said you can have COPD without the other components. He said, in general, COPD is any airway narrowing/inflammation, and this can be cause by smoking or other environmental irritants.

COPD...COPD usually is composed of
emphysema
and or chronic bronchitis. Dr said both my cxr was clear and CT showed no acute abnormalities? Any ideas. I thought being stage II, something would have shown

Advice Please.
) I haven't got a clue what is actually causing my COPD, by that I mean is it
emphysema
, bronchitis or both. I want to go armed with a list of questions of things I am entitled to ask for, to help me cope, and keep me healthier. I would value any of your contributions to put on my list.

Confusion
I keep hearing talk of
emphysema
and bronchitis and I have neither, the only thing that has developed since being diagnosed is a bi-lateral pulmonary embolisms which are putting pressure on my right valve! It's hard to know exactly where you stand when no-one is giving you any explanation!

Breathlessness
I must admit the hardest thing to come to grips with when suffering from
Emphysema
is the increasing breathlessness which leads to increasing immobility. But then again when the sun shines and the birds tweet the breathlessness seems to be less important.

Weird Sleep Thing Going On
I did a search on the net and found some chap on Healthboards with mild
emphysema
who described the situation exactly like mine. I however have a normal CT from 12 years ago and a normal DLCO so reasonably confident I don't have
emphysema
as yet.
