@debbmol62 - Good afternoon Deb. Boy talk about a mixed message about breathing at night! Did you them for a clarification? I feel that it's very important that you understand every bit of the results of your tests, scans and treatments because then you will know what is wrong, or right. And where to go from there. I know nothing about health insurance so I can not address that here.
However if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions for me, I will see if I can help you. I have COPD from lung cancer and smoking. I am treated with inhalers. What treatments in the past have you had for COPD? Which kind of doctor has been treating you? When did you begin to have problems?
