Great information. I am Stage 4 copd with emphysema. I was on life support twice 8 years ago. I quit smoking in 2008 and was put on life support in 2014. Went through 12 weeks of rehab. Then I joined an Adult Wellness Center to exercise. In 2015 my breathing capacity was at 23%. A year later I did another Pulmonary Function Test and it showed 28%. My Pulmonologist was pretty happy with me. I did another Test in 2021 that showed my breathing capacity at 31%. So I know exercise is a huge benefit for us. Now I need to be using my Spirometer more and my breathing device. Another thing I would like to mention that has really helped me with getting Mucus up and out is the Aerobika. The hospitals call it a Flutter Device. It works like a charm when I am having some difficulty with coughing up the mucus. I also have a lot of Faith in God!
Mucus contains large amounts of sulfur. Sulfur molecules form di-sulfide bonds with each other. This causes the mucus to clump together making it difficult, even impossible to cough up and out of the lungs. NAC breaks the di-sulfide bonds essentially liquefying the mucus allowing the patient to cough it up and out of the lungs.
@@ReverseCOPD yes it does it changed my life I'm sure after years of poorly control ashma I was on the way to c,o,p,d n.a.c saved me can't speak highly enough about it.
Hi Gidget, We really appreciate you sharing your experience with COPD, and we recognize your concern. If you would like to speak to us directly, especially regarding our COPD resources or how pulmonary rehabilitation can help, you may call Brianna who handles referrals and enrollment at 410-871-4601, Extension 70. Just know you are not alone!
Gidget, you can live for 20 years and more with copd. Its similar to diabetes in regard to you have to learn how to manage it. Exercise is the key, sit to stand, step ups, walking, (uphill and brisk on the flat). DONT sit around doing nothing!
Thank you I'm one that thought I was at my end. Being 70. I do inhalers and take Boost oxgen in can when needed. But I refused to go on oxgen. I will be call in the health team here. 🙏🕊
It's not that bad. They have little, actually cute little portable oxygen concentrators. You can get stylish backpacks for the small tanks. If you are concerned about what people think....they don't. Help yourself.
Great attempt at sharing information. Thank you. Please, learn to talk to lay people that do not know the lingo that you're commonly comfortable in. I promise to work on my exercises. You made some great points. Thank you.
The lack of energy and no emotional and physical support...feels like im dead already or would prefer God to come fetch me. South Africa have no support groups. In a matter of 6 months i went from not being able sit still to stuck alone in my room....that's no life...please forgive my negativity, but this hit me hard. No emphysema, they don't know the reason and together with that Lupus, Sjorgens, and RA all at once!!!
Feels like it in winter UK x 5/6 months.. Now government penalise sufferers from taking holidays in warmer climates to alleviate it.. Bit like goldilocks extreme heat can also affect asthma/copd. Many have never smoked and worked hard throughout their life.

It depends what your specific disease is because (COPD) is an all encompassing term. If you have worsening emphysema you probably won't live as long with someone who has chronic bronchitis which is much more "liveable"
I have a friend who's been on oxygen for close to 25 years...like he says oxygen, we are all breathing it. He works out hard. He has had emphysema since 1992...he calls himself Willie, Jr..

NO -- early onset COPD and emphysema can cause air to become trapped in the alveoli -- and trapped air can cause an air embolism . I am a former SCUBA instructor ( over 20 years ) -- however I am not a doctor and you should direct your question to a diving physician. DAN can steer you to a diving physician in your area. I have ( reluctantly ) turned away many many potential customers who had a fistful of dollars and a great desire to dive -- but their health made diving risky . Best of luck to you and STAY HEALTHY ! Good health is EVERYTHING. Below -- From DAN ( Divers Alert Network ) "Unfortunately, COPD is a contraindication to diving for several reasons. With COPD, there are abnormal enlargements of the air spaces in the lungs and destruction of the air sac (alveoli) walls, reducing their elasticity. The alveolar walls are normally elastic like a balloon. A balloon expands when you breathe into it, but the walls are ready to recoil and expel the air, which is how normal alveoli function. With reduced elasticity, it is more like breathing into a plastic bag. It expands, but the walls do not actively force out the air. Any air remaining in the alveoli creates a much higher potential for pulmonary barotrauma. "
Any process or lesion that impedes airflow from the lungs places the diver at risk for pulmonary overinflation with alveolar rupture and the possibility of cerebral air embolization. Many interstitial diseases predispose to spontaneous pneumothorax: Asthma (reactive airway disease), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), cystic or cavitating lung diseases may all cause air trapping. The 1996 Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) consensus on diving and asthma indicates that for the risk of pulmonary barotrauma and decompression illness to be acceptably low, the asthmatic diver should be asymptomatic and have normal spirometry before and after an exercise test. Inhalation challenge tests (e.g.: using histamine, hypertonic saline or methacholine) are not sufficiently standardized to be interpreted in the context of scuba diving.
I have to wear a bipap to keep co2 out of my lungs. Anytime I sleep I have to wear one. They called my family in June 2023. I didn't die. Am I about to die 😢😢
I don’t agree going to the gym doesn’t work. I’m six weeks getting over a flare up and viral infection, (the rescue emergency pack ( steroids and antibiotics UK) didn’t work as it only helps with a bacterial infection), and not been able to do anything at all including exercise and my fitness level including my immune system have deteriorated badly. But normally I get to the gym three days a week working cardio which strengthens my lung and heart response and, even on the weight machines, deepen my breathing. It’s important not to overdo it and rest is very important but, for me, it makes the difference between fighting and controlling COPD or my life being controlled by it.
