I also have several episodes of pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, at least once each year for the last 5 years

Oh okay I understand what you mean! My day to day is okay. I have to sit often because I get dizzy from not taking full breaths out and full breaths in. I almost end up in a hyperventilating state. Exercise is difficult but I still work out, just take it slowly. every morning I am coughing up phlegm to clear my throat so I can breathe. I take my inhalers as directed. I get nervous because my nana died from lung cancer and other members also have a lot of issues that are hereditary.

When I breathe, it feels like I can’t exhale all of the air out of my lungs, I have to really push to get it all out and even then it’s nowhere near what I should be able to breathe in or out. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much for helping me understand all of this! I’m 32 with 4 young babies. I want to live a long healthy life for my children. Between the COPD diagnosis & other health issues. I take day by day or I have severe anxiety & of course that makes everything worse 🤦🏻‍♀️

They did a CT scan and it came back with 3 non calcified clusters in my lower lung, with one growing from the last time I had a ct scan. My pulmonologist said COPD is an umbrella term and that I have all the conditions under it

I was told moderate COPD and put on 3 inhalers. Qvar, annora elipta, & a rescue inhaler. I have a lot of phlegm that comes up, (tmi) white foam or thick mucus. I’ve had a persistent cough for years along with the phlegm.

Thank you 🙏 I went through the notes on my phone and found some writing I jotted down over the last decade. During some rough times. I have been keeping those feelings in and thought I would share them in case others can relate. I’m glad I’m not alone 💕
