Thank you. Been on antibiotic for 6 days . Feeling better.
What are the symptoms of a COPD flare up?? I've been really coughing and the gunk sticks in my throat thus I have the feeling that I am choking and then I throw up afterwards.

Why does your Pulmonary dr want you to see a cardiologist ?

Please check in with your doctor

Also took the survey.
I am considering getting one of those exercise/health monitoring watches. I have read reviews of ones that can monitor your heart rate, exercise, sleep patterns and work like an oximeter. They seem to have a wide range in price from the simple to the iWatch by Apple. So, has anyone used one and do you recommend any specific brand? I don't want to waste my money but it seems like they could be a good tool for monitoring our condition. Just looking for recommendations if you have used one… read more
As you know, few models have O2 sensing anymore. Active HR should be considered a minimum. Follow the reviews based on preferred features and your budget
