How long have you lived with COPD?
COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease | Last Active: Oct 31 1:07pm | Replies (50)Comment receiving replies
Morning puddy. 5 years since diagnosis. I’m on Breztri twice and Roflumilast pills for exacerbations once a day. I have shortness of breath but my amazing pulmonologist says not from the COPD - perhaps from my sleep apnea for which I’ll be doing another sleep study next month.
I also did a clinical study at Temple Hospital in Philly for chronic bronchitis - it lasted a year- and I no longer at this point have bronchitis.
I go to the gym several times a week.
There are breathing exercises I do also.
If you haven’t check out DrNoah Greenspan’s videos. He’s a pulmonary rehab specialist located in NYC. He posts free webbiners on zoom as well as pulmonary boot camp. https://pulmonarywellness.org/bootcamp-home/
Pulmonarywellness.com is his website and he also has YouTube videos.
God bless puffy.

Just perused the web-site that you recommended. What a wonderful site! How i wished I live on the east coastal line where there are sooo many more resources rather than the southeast! The study that relieved your bronchitis didn't happen to be the Rho-ox study did it, only if you feel comfortable saying. There was a study site at our Medical University but I did not qualify as I had elected to have Zephyr valve placements. Not sure I see a correlation to exclude as the valves have no effect on the bronchitis symptoms of the disease. Hope you continue to do well! Thank you for sharing.
