It’s lovely to hear about you as I keep it to my self and I get fear as I only have a daughter as my husband died 18 months ago .my daughter is a sick girl. I get so cross with myself as I’ve always done such a lot but now I struggle ,I cannot walk up hills and get tired quickly but friends don’t understand because I look younger then I am ,in 79 and have never smoked but the think it’s been caused my me being a baker confectioner , I used to open big sacks of flour and icing sugar and I would go home covered in it as well as breathing it , I never ever thought it would cause this , life is so complicated you do your best to work hard and try and keep young and then you get these horrible illnesses , Thankyou for your texting it really helps being on here , can some one tell me what a pulmonologist. Does as I’ve not Hurd of one ,

A pulmonologist checks your lungs for problems and can help you get more oxygen to your blood . There are portable oxygen machines and drugs/inhalers that can help you. The earlier you see him and receive treatment the better you can do . Blessed Be, Crystal

I looked it up so you can read about what that specialty is. The Cleveland Clinic is much like the Mayo Clinic so I defer to them often.
All my best to you Jennie.
