Rib Pain From COPD?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

Cleared an infection using rescue meds about a week ago but today my ribs/lungs feel really bruised.
I was convinced that I'd got visible bruises but, when my wife looked there was no sign so, I'm assuming, it's the lungs rather than ribs.
Not felt this for a long, long time. Is there anything I should be doing or drugs I should be taking, please?

I understand your frustration. Nothing really seems to help. I live in Vancouver, BC, where the climate is often very rainy and humid and this seems to contribute to the shortness of breath.
