I have a SMART VEST, it helps !! The only CAVEAT, is if, I have a upset stomach before I use it.
My heart beats too fast and apparently its "normal for me". I also regularly experience severe chest pains. Sometimes my heart feels like a solid heavy rock weighing heavily in my chest. Some tests have been done, and I've been told its NOT my heart, but I'm worried because I have no idea what else it could be.

And compared its horrible. As I don't watch TV nor Read... any advice?

I have 170% hyperinflation and long lungs, which are pressing my diaphragm down and causing all sorts of bowel issues. Anyone else have a similar problem? It's driving me crazy.
I think it has to do with where all your emphysema is located. Mine is in the upper lung, and that’s where they would do the reduction. It doesn’t work if the emphysema is spread out all over the… read more
