@A MyCOPDTeam Member - and it seems some days are better than others. i too am on o2 24/7 4L and a Bipap and O2 at nite. i am so grateful for the machines so i can rest. it helps me breath. What a great invention. I'd be in heaven with out it. hopefully heaven that is. I think I am at 32% functionality.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, I'm with you on knowing when I just feel bad and when I'm going into an exacerbation. Then I wait to long to call the doctor and have to wait two more weeks ( or 4) to get in. Great life. Don't give up!

If I were you

Is your dr a pulmonary dr or a Gp

Have you had an ABG test or a forced air flow test yet
If not I suggest you get them

And start doing breathing exercises
In my prayers
Good luck
