I have COPD. I am scared and have a nebulizer. Diagnosed 6 months ago. Don’t know what to do! Trying to exercise and walk every day, but I get very tired, and yes I’m scared. Also need hiatel hernia surgery.

@sisterk I have severe Copd and have dealt with it for about three years. I had an inguinal hernia surgery during that time. Just make sure to notify the surgeon and the anesthesiologist so they can take appropriate precautions. For the Copd, stay as active as possible and follow doctor recommendations. Try not to worry as that doesn’t help.
