Lung Volume Reduction using Pulmonary Valves. My experiences as a patient.
After a spell in hospital about two years ago, I realised that
Spiriva
(Tiotropium Bromide, a 24hour controlled release drug), wasn't giving me the supposed 24 hour cover. In fact, I doubt I was even getting 16 hours.

My lungs apparently are working at 43% which sound horrific to me I get so out of breath just walking I'm really struggling at work as well Have been put on a
spiriva
inhaler as well as symbicort but can't see what difference they are making. I feel so tired as well.

I have just been diagnosed with COPD - still smoking but hoping to quit - have been put on an inhaler called
spiriva
. My breathing seems a little better since taking it but my head and nose is now completed bunged up - is this normal with this inhaler?

Spiriva Respimat
Hello Folks,
Spiriva
Repsimat is usually prescribed for COPD patients and also difficult asthma too. I have just been given it last week when in hospital to try to help reduce the number of nebs I need a day. Anyone else here using it please and what are your views, results?

Back again
We had a lovely time but I really noticed I was much more breathless than usual in London due to all the traffic fumes and I had to use my ventolin every day as well as my usual
Spiriva
. So I am glad to be back amongst the trees and fields! Lynne

A milestone
OK, I had to have a little rest after each flight and when I got to the top I had to use my ventolin for the first time since I went on to
Spiriva
but I recovered my breath quite quickly really. I'm quite proud. Lynne x

I've just been prescribed Spiriva (for breathlessness due to obliterative bronchiolitis) and wonder how others find it?
When do people usually take it and do you take it with other inhaled meds (like salbutamol/ventolin and seretide, in my case)?
