has anyone got cronic obstructive pulmonary disease?


Question:


Answers:
Yes. COPD includes various lung conditions, such as emphysema, broncheolitis, even asthma is considered COPD. Sarcoidosis also involves airway obstruction that prohibits sufficient exhalation to allow enough inhalation. There are many different lung diseases, many idiopathic, meaning of unknown cause, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. My disease is yet to be diagnosed, and there's a difference of opinion between doctors/hospitals. If you or someone you know has a breathing problem, do see a doctor ASAP. In the beginning I was told I had adult onset asthma and emphysema. I believed that for three years until getting much worse and finally seeking a second opinion.

Other Answers:
yes I do.. feel free to email me if you like

No but alot of people do. See a pulmonary specialist and have
them test your blood gases. If your satuation levels are 89%
or lower , see to it that you get on oxygen therapy. You will
need to be on oxygen.
