Copd

I've had it many times and did fine. I 'm not on oxygen or anything though.

I am sure it depends on your level of COPD . I refused surgery for a shoulder rebuild . It would require an anesthetic and a nerve block . I am pretty well advanced in my Emphysema . I won’t take the risk of the procedure causing more damage to my
lungs . I am 79 and on oxy 24/7. 3 ltrs at night and 4 or more when active . Blessed Be. , Crystalina

I’m in stage four COPD and I’ve been on anesthesia a few different times. I do take oxygen. It didn’t seem to bother me none

Thanks for your reply was that general anesthesia that puts you out or
local if you don't mind me asking

Must’ve been put me out. I don’t recall anything that happened.

I had a procedure under 'twilight'. No problems, no memory of it! All went well.

I was recommended for a endoscopy of my esophagus a few years back. I'm in stage 3 of COPD/emphysema. I've been on oxygen, 2 litres, since 2018. When I spoke with my pulmonologist about the scope, he recommended I don't have that done, as it is sometimes difficult for a pulmonary patient to come out of the anesthesia. The best thing is to talk with your lung doctor.
