Many people with COPD report experiencing pain around their ribcage. The changes that happen in your airway and other chest tissues when you have COPD can cause you to rely more on surrounding muscles… read more
I have started a breathing regiment. Breath in through the nose for 2 seconds, hold your breath for 5 seconds, breathe out through mouth with purged lips for 4 seconds and hold for 5 seconds before… read more
@A MyCOPDTeam Member, I checked out that web site; thanks for the tip.
If I was to classify my symptoms in the categories of most bothersome this is it, 100% top of the list. I can never seem to get a deep breath. I really have to stop myself sighing constantly and then they come more often. It's like a dis-ordered breathing pattern
I'm going about my business breathing normally and then the body normally flushes out a breath and takes a big one to re fill. Then I get the can't get a satisfying breath feeling. God it's annoying. Anyone else being driven nuts by… read more
I will practice that, doctor told me the carbonoxide can get locked up in the lung, too much of it.
Have any of you who are in Pulmonary rehabilitation (or have already been) participated in harmonica therapy as part of your program? If you did do you think it was helpful?

What challenges will I face in the change in altitude, pressure, air quality, dryness, etc.
Appreciate any comments, input.
