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.
Make sure you have an order from your Dr and you will probably be able to rent one Stay away from hot humid places you won't be able to breathe in that air
I have recently missed work and on steroids and antibiotics for my COPD flare up, it has been a couple weeks but only feeling a little better. I get winded and start coughing while walking, or when anxious. Has anyone have any advice how to proceed?
Yes, with each breath you receive oxygen. So more breathing gives you more oxygen. Pulse machines take
a little bit to get used to but you'll adjust quickly!
I have emphysema
I only use it when I have infections and flare ups, which seems to be a lot lately.
I’m again back on oxygen therapy after a month in hospital on a different matter. Whilst in hospital my sats were up and down nurses were forever checking my sats and blood pressure as soon as sats got lower up the oxygen levels went then if sats were ok back down went oxygen levels. It was said not enough oxygen in my blood stream. I have COPD and Asthma along with other ailments I’m puzzled as I thought you got oxygen therapy for your lung disease can any one enlighten me please
I love Dr Berg ! I’m learning so much from him

I have had COPD for several years, but in 2018. diagnosed with COPD exacerbation that required me to use oxygen 24 hours a day. I have a portable concentrator and oxygen tanks back up.
We don't have power outages to often it is concerning when it does!i am on oxygen 24/7 also! I have back up I just pray it doesn't happen
I am in severe stage copd. I have always been warm blooded but My hands and feet seem to be cold quit often. At times I just can't get warm. Anyone else experience this problem? What causes this?
Invest in Bambillo bedding. Bamboo cotton sheets, pillowcases, and a Bambillo undersheet topper, or a merino wool undersheet topper with electric blanket. They're very good investments!
Keep you a bottle of anise star essential oil and when you feel nauseous take a whiff or 2. For some reason felt nauseous last week and immediately took a couple whiffs and went right away. Tamiflu… read more
