I did just that and slightly worryingly, if not surprisingly, the first response is

It's a progressive disease so if you do have it then it will only get worse. They will medicate you but they will probably only relieve symptoms and not prevent. I know you have cut down but stopping all together will best benefit you. You only have one life, get the best out of it

that said, I hope it's not copd xx

There are two types. People can either get short of oxygen or end up retaining co2 depending on type. That's why when your breathing gets bad they do arterial blood gases and limit your 02 intake in casualty.

It's helpful to know what type you are, but it doesnt matter overly.

Lots of resources on the net, emedicine write good ones

Got diagnosed 13/12/2011.

Gave up my 40 a day cig habit same time.

Was at late stage 2 when diagnosed, due to my heart condition masking my out of breath problems.

Try not to worry about it, and its not all doom and gloom.

If you would like to chat private or have any questions, just drop me a line.
