What a day
Hi all, well what a nightmare day today. Work was very busy today and stupidly I helped a little more than I should, lifted a box I would have had no problem with 6 months ago. Ended up sat in the office for 3 hours gasping for air, inhalers did nothing and the panic did not help in the slightest. Frightened

Just diagnosed with moderate COPD
This is my first post and wanted to join a community where I could get information about COPD. I am 77 years old and was first told by the VA that I had emphysema. This was about 20 years ago. They put me on some meds and and then I was put on Respimat, Combivent Respimat and albuterol rescue inhaler

Lung function tests
Hi All I've been having lung function tests at the hospital, I thought, because of my lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis & emphysema. I've done various breaths blowing & inhaling into a spirometry machine. The last one I had to go into a cubicle & air was cut off for 10 seconds. I haven't been on a running

Pulmonology visit today, emotional roller coaster of a day
Hi everyone! First of all a ginormous hug to everyone on here for the support and well wishes. Every night before I go to bed I say some prayers for all of us. So, yes I do have MAC Mycobacterium Avium Complex. The doctor said my lungs are clear, my weight is stable and I'm not coughing up bloody

Hello everyone.
Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and pretty new to the world of inhalers, at least on a regular basis. I am in my early 50's and, although I have had a blue inhaler which I have used every now and then for about 26 years I have not had a major problem until I had a nasty fluey cold/chest infection

A wee drink i found after exercise to help my COPD and mucous
Since having COPD diagnosed 24 months ago i was already 3 months of the cigarettes before the diagnosis which now means i am 27 month smoke free. Since that time i have attempted to live a fitter life and it is only now coming together, anyone who thinks two years quit, is fantastic, it is for your health

Air hunger issues
Hi! I’m a 43 year old mom of three little boys. Single mom at that. I have been having these episodes where I cannot take a satisfying breath. My chest feels very full and heavy but I am not congested. I have no cold symptoms. I do have a wheEze which I believe is due to maybe asthma. This air hunger

Medication options
For the past 9 months I have been taking Coumadin from the UK because I cannot tolerate the US brands do to the fillers. I no longer can get it. Prof Hughes wanted me on Coumadin because he said the newer medications are not therapeutic. Is there a long acting Warfarin? Or any other options. Designer16

Travel insurance
Hi can anyone recommend travel insurance , going to America and the quotes I'm getting are hundreds of pounds 😫 I probably should have said I have mild Copd , but also gall stones , and what seems to be worst of all non alcoholic fatty liver, I do think this may be my biggest problem as far as insurance

Heparin to Warfarin Bridging
Hi, I recently came out of surgery and was given heparin injections (came off warfarin in advance of the surgery). I am now being bridged back to warfarin. I'm injecting 15,000 single doses of heparin while "reloading" my warfarin. The warfarin dosage is 12 mg. I have to do this for 3 days, and then

Feeling Deflated
This past Wednesday I went in to discuss with my pulmonologist where I am at on my journey in this life. I had previously last May thought I might consider the lung transplant. Began a required regimen and after two months of being sick from the medication decided that I was not going that route. Feeling
