I was first told I had COPD about 12 years age. It was very mild and I only did albruterol a few times a week.

That all ended in Feb 24. I fell unconscious at Walmart and was in the hospital for a week. They tested everything from epilepsy, stroke, and heart and a few others. All came back negative. I was told to go to a neruologist. That doctor also tested and all came back negative. My breathing became much worse, I was wheezing and coughing a lot and seems never to be able to catch my breath. Went to my pulmonologist and said I was full of mucus and a few other nasty things. I went on 3 inhalers and did oxygen for a year and it got better. In March I got bad again. A lot of mucus and now pretty much chronic cough. Very hard to get the mucus out. I have my appointment soon to see the pulmonologist.

I take equate Musinex 1200 twice a day . It works on stubborn phlegm . I also see that I drink water aggressively every day. I think a lot of folks with copd do. I see some take the level 600’s. I just wanted to get the best help I could so I started with 1200’s. You might try Musinex . Sending peace and healing . Crystalina
