I would have the sea and beaches I have the opportunity to travel in the next year. What would be some suggestions for places to travel with COPD I have moderate copd and am on oxygen at night.
I live in Canada and would be flying out of Calgary.
Would love to hear of any semi-tropical or sea side places I could visit.
Get a portable O2 machine that has a battery with a long life mine has 10 hours and i've travelled with it No problems
Been waiting in April for 2 years On oxygen CPAP and nebulizers Also have a lawyer Lung function test was bad Also have 2 other SSDI guidelines disabilities besides COPD
Since i have been diagnosed with COPD i find that every 2 months i will get eczema or itchy scalp and back for about a month. The patches that itch seem to be areas bearing more weight. Does anyone have this problem too?
My bet is on the COPD. Just give it time and the itch will appear on many parts of your body. I have a good cream I put on, but that itch goes away and it appears in another place another day. I'm… read more
Works well for me.been on it a couple months now.
Hi, I have mild/moderate COPD, it fluctuates wildly according to the weather. I do not use oxygen and my oxygen level is 90%.
I love going abroad to Corfu, the flying time is about 5 - 5 and a half hours. I haven't flown since developing COPD,
Has anyone had experience of flying with COPD - how was it for you. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I flew from Amsterdam to Lisbon (Portugal) and notified the airways in advance I might need help. The service provided was awesome. Had help at the airport with my luggage, with boarding, leaving… read more
I am also bettering cold than in hot. I remember a couple summers ago it was 96 with 96% humidity. I couldn’t go out in it at all. I was reading the optimum for us 70° and 40% humidity.
I have to travel overseas in 10 days and would appreciate any advice offered. I was diagnosed with COPD, "extensive and throughout" about 7 years ago but my Dr. doesn't say what "stage". I am not on oxygen but use a nebulizer when needed and Anoro daily. In 2012 my GP said it was not safe for me to fly at all but my Pulmonolgist told me it would be fine. I was very lucky to be able to get a seat in 1st class so was less likely to be affected by the recirculating air in the main cabin. I've flown… read more
