How long has everyone been living with COPD?

How long has everyone been living with COPD?

I’m guessing about 15. I didn’t do much about it until I landed in the hospital for 5 days about 5 years ago. Came home on oxygen with fev1 at 37.

I was diagnosed in 2008. I kept coughing at work. Doc finally did a breathing test and the results told the story. I’ve been battling ever since. Made big life changes cause I did not want to be on oxygen. I’m 72. Still not on oxygen thank you Jesus.

wow, well done. Although, having supplemental oxygen can be very helpful.

I guess I will know when I need it. My breathing seems to be ok. Thanks for the tip
