COPD or not COPD!
I was diagnosed with Asthma 3 years ago (in my early 50's) with no spirometry test just a nurse looking at me when I was breathless. Couple of winters proved difficult and have had nebulisers to get me through them. 3 years on, a change of doctor, a chest x-ray that said everything was ok and a spirometry

Catastrophic APS or just a bad 3 weeks.
HI, I am new here and I DON'T have APS or Lupus. It is my husband who as Primary APS. He was dx 3 years ago when he pulled a calf muscle and ended up with a DVT. They did several rounds of blood tests over a 6 month period and at the end of that, confirmed it was APS. He was

Hi everyone I have had asthma for many years and was diagnosed with mild COPD about 2 years ago and my question is
Should I have been offered a chest X-Ray or a CAT scan etc. when I was diagnosed to see any damage done to my lungs? I was diagnosed by my asthma nurse via a spirometry and peak flow test. She said my lung age was 89 which meant I was in the COPD range. I have never seen a doctor (for diagnosis) or

Asthma Advice??
I don't feel like typing that much, but ever since last year, I've been having really bad asthma. I mean, I never even used to use my preventer, or hardly have to use my ventolin, but now I'm using it at least daily. I was on prednisone for a very short time which did not do much except worsen my GERD

First Visit to Rheumatologist
Well after being diagnosed with GCA several months ago I had my first visit to a Rheumatologist. Well I will admit to feeling very anxious but I had first class treatment - spoke with the Registrar who took all the details regarding my medical history and then me gave a thorough examination. She seemed

Chest X-ray (lungs) ?
I am experiencing some discomfort when I breath. I now remember being sent for a chest x-ray when I was diagnosed and was told it was to look at my lungs. Does anyone know why this may have been done?

Suntan Sea and ICU
I had come home from a wonderful 2 week holiday in Spain with my wife. I felt refreshed and relaxed ready for the working months ahead. With the aim to earn enough to pay the bills and think of where to go next year for our holiday. At least that was the plan and like most well laid plans, things

I am a 47 year old man, living on the south coast. I worked hard all my life, up until 10 tears ago. In 2000 I had a bout of Bronchitis. This got worse and turned into full blown terrible pneumonia. I was coughing terribly, and feeling simply terrible. I was totally shattered,

Persistent cough
I am in my 50s and have had asthma since I was a very small child. Most of my adult life it hasn't bothered me much at all and I haven't even had to take a regular preventer. A couple of years ago I had a cold which resulted in a cough that never really went away. It got to the point where I bearly

Great news!
I was having a lot of back pains so I had a chest x-ray a week ago. Got my results this morning and I've got the all clear. (Apart from the emphysema of course). I'm so pleased as I was a bit worried. It's just the 'normal' sort of pains COPD can cause. Lynne x

Has this happened to You?
Some years ago, approx' eight, I went for a chest x-ray at Leeds General Infirmary, and was asked if I did any type of sports as my x-ray showed I had distended lungs; I reckon what gave my reply away was the the little smirk on my face which proclaimed - "Are you joking!" Any type of sports activity

New diagnosis.
Hi, I'm new here & currently going through a diagnosis process, but my Doctor is fairly set on his opinion that I am asthmatic. He's asked me to get a chest X-Ray done as he thinks I have a mild crackling right lung, so wants to check for an infection there. I also have to go back for a Spirometry
