I have emphysema
I only use it when I have infections and flare ups, which seems to be a lot lately.
Can you use salbutamol in the nebuliser at the same time as ipratropium?
I have both COPD and asthma
First thing in morning I use 1 subutmol to open my airways 10 min later I use 2 budnise nebunes then 5 min later I use single Ipromide I then mix the ipromid and subutmol… read more
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

@A MyCOPDTeam Member if you are not excersing that could be the weakness, jittery can be from albuterol, nauseous can be from an improper diet. I'm not saying you have any of this. The Doctor would… read more
how do you deal with a stressful time without the cigarettes or the Nicorette's
Keep your hands and mouth busy. Suck on ice, mints, anything you would ruin the cig with to try to smoke with it in your mouth. Take up a hobby that uses your brain & hands. One that Doesn't give you… read more
I think DannyPetty said it and called it hypoxia. It chooses which organ to let go and the kidney is the least necessary. Makes sense when I think about it.Have a good day and be careful with the low… read more
