Good info , thank you😊
@A MyCOPDTeam Member Brown I too have chf, but so far ever thing I'd going ok. Hope you have a good ddy.
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
Does everyone with COPD have a chronic horrendous cough? OR is the cough related to asthma? I have the chronic all the time. I have found that some of the coughing spells are triggered by several different smells. Anyone else experience. I do have asthma as well as the chronic bronchitis. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Well done Bonnie. You show me I should be doing more to help myself.
I have emphysema
I only use it when I have infections and flare ups, which seems to be a lot lately.
I've got stage 2 copd last 23 months x doctors on Monday tell me I've got mild heart failure as well . Any advice peeps.

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!

I don't quite agree with that though. I DO have a heart condition. My heart beats too fast. I have no idea why and I've had a guts full of people in the medical profession saying that its NORMAL FOR ME!!! What the hell does THAT MEAN?! I also have low blood pressure that causes dizzy spells.
I feel like a rib is poking me. My lungs have pressure, at least that's how it feels to me. Very uncomfortable 😸
Was diagnosed with COPD some years ago ,but diagnosis wasn't conclusive. Another consultant
said Asthma but not conclusive . Had Pleurisy which scarred left lung ,left me in a lot of pain on left side which I still suffer from . Flairs up if I get a cold or flu and mucus production flairs up as well. Constantly trying to clear it
Have been to GP on countless occasions and get the same answer : chest sounding and all clear ,but I feel constantly congested. Have inhaler at night & morning and… read more
I have the capsules but I have noticed that many of them are only 1/2 to3/4 full. I am going to finish those but will not buy any more of those. I also have the extract that’s easier to take. Just… read more
