I have had COPD (chronic bronchitis) for about six years or more!
still using respirator, 3 inhalers and some pills now! Not on oxygen at all. But would like to know if others have a serious control with mucus and feel a pressure on your chest? My doctor did indicate that my breathing tube has gotten smaller, could this be the reason for the chest tightness? To add to this a cancer doctor has been watching my lungs for 5 years now, and I go for tests again soon! Not looking for sympathy at all just guess I need to know if oxygen could or should be used if any of you have gone thru these kinds of symptoms?

I will respond to your question about mucus. My NP from the pulmonary department prescribed Ipatroprium, which gets rid of all the extra mucus that was making me miserable. You only use it when you need it.
