My wife just died from COPD stage 4 she suffer for 2 weeks was in hospice when she died. Married for over 50 years and now I am alone. I will never feel love again from a woman and how do go on. Not sure I want to go on. Here I sat alone in my house this will be my life now.
j luttrell, My heart just breaks for you. My husband has COPD and it’s getting worse and I am scared. I’m scared for him and me. I’ve never been alone and in June we will be married for 41 years. He just got out on oxygen when he needs it and oxygen with his sleep apnea. Since having a stress test because he drives truck for a living he has gone downhill so fast. Is there any advice you can give me???
Awww my Heart just breaks for You as well and my Husband past away from a blood clot in his lung in my arms and i still am alone by choice. God Bless You Sweetheart. and if You ever need a Friend im here.
I am so sorry. Loss my Randy after 20 yrs and he just stood up and died of heart attack. He said i love you and was gone. I am the one with copd. He always said , no . i will go before you to get us ready. ;0 Now, i am so struggling but refuse to stop fighting this. I quit smoking, 3 yrs ago. eat healthier , loss 89 lbs, but the heart now is issue. this is crazy stuff and seems no doc will give me answer as everyday seems worse on breathing..Just need to breath better and what meds help this. Too many doc, no answers and find more on youtube. than in offices. My prayers to you and family and hope this finds you better than yesterday. I know the mourning is hard. Remember they never leave your heart .No matter what. Spend your time happy, time is the one thing that is just not replaceable. I refuse to be negative or look at this as non fixable as faith and hope are powerful and prayers are miracles Peace to you my friend (◡‿◡✿)

My grandfather was diagnosed with stage 4 COPD in 2002 right after his 77th birthday. He is still going strong today. It just never progressed for some reason. For a few years there he huffed and puffed a bit and slept with oxygen. But then one day he just said I feel great. Last year at some point he took all of the O2 machines out of his house and moved them into the back of the garage basically telling the family I'm done with all that, never needed it, don't want it, forget it exists. And to everyones astonishment he is doing better than ever. He still lives alone. He still drives and goes to the bank and the grocery store just like he has for 80 years. Last month he made Thanksgiving dinner for our whole family and it was a crazy large spread. I kid with him and tell him he is a robot and nobody has it figured out yet and he always just says I just know how to be old real good. Strange world we live in.
A chronic bronchitis usually in 3months and more in the expand of 2yrs and still keep coming back. Was your grandfather still experience it after 2 years? I am so afraid and I will go to doctor tomorrow. I hope I don't have this.
@@dc.pentrumesteri4893 My Grandfather just passed in May. He was 99. He had his birthday the month before. He was a fighter until the end and never slowed down. He went for his morning walk on the day he passed as if there was nothing wrong. Sorry if people don't want to believe it but that's the way it was. He had COPD since the early 2000's and even though every Dr. visit showed things worse and worse he never showed it in his day to day life. Never stopped taking care of himself, shopping on his own, paying his own bills. Guy was a hero. He is missed greatly in our lives.
On July 7 this year 2020, my boyfriend told me that he was diagnosed with COPD. I love him so much that I told him not to worry about that as I would be by his side no matter what but he just wanted to end our relationship. It hurts me so bad.. May God bless you J.J! Will pray for you every day.
My husband battled with COPD for years but I am glad right now that his condition swiftly changed positively as my husband can now breathe normal as every other person after undergoing COPD herbal remedies from ( Dr.Schneider Lon on youtube...
My daddy was diagnosed with emphysema COPD at age 58, so he got scared and quit smoking. He got hooked on smoking at age 16. He liked unfiltered Lucky Strike. That was a popular brand with his generation. His COPD progressed slow, I think because he quit smoking at stage 1. He lived to be 90 and died in 2001. It wasn't until the last few years of his life that he became weak, skinny and used an oxygen tank. He crept around like an old scare crow, but finally collapsed and died on the kitchen floor. My mother died soon afterward at age 85 from lung cancer. It was ghastly. She smoked unfiltered Pall Mall, another popular brand with the WWII generation, but quit at age 64. She started up smoking again in her 80s and promptly got cancer.They were married 65 years. Cigarettes also killed her two brothers, ages 66(lung cancer) and 75(COPD). Anyway, it can take a long time to kill you if you quit before your lungs aren't so messed up.
Thanks for sharing the experiences in your family with COPD. I really appreciate knowing how it goes with different people. I have been smoking for 40 years and I quit 6 years ago so it's not too bad but the oxygen does help long as you keep moving. Different strokes for different folks I guess. But thanks again for the information. ☺️
I did NOT get COPD from smoking, it was from a life lived with severe asthma when asthma wasn't as common as it is now. I want physicians to stop asking me "How long did you smoke?" when that was never part of my COPD journey
Add me to the list. I have stage 3 from years of working in concrete and construction. I never smoked. Sadly, the vast majority of people with COPD were or are smokers, so I guess they view it as a given that we smoked. It seems that question is one that we just have to forebear.
That sure reminds me of when the V.A. said I had sorosis. They kept asking me how much alcohol I drink. When one asked me how much booze I drink, I just say, not much, no more than a gallon a day. I finally told her that I do not like the taste of alcohol, so of course I do not drink it, any more than any nasty medicine. They do assume a lot, instead of first asking! Wish you well and pray for God's Devine Healing.
Respiratory doctors seem to be like auto mechanics anymore. If the computer code says to replace xyz, they do that and only that, and never take time to trace the problem.
my doctor told me that i am in 3erd stage copd i dont want to go out being suffocated talk about scary i am having massive panic attach cant breath . i totally believe in god and Jesus. just needed to vent. Larry B
That's so sad to hear you are still suffering from this same situation . Am feeling for you right now, I know of a doctor who can help you get rid of this. He also help me from this same situation , He can also help cure yours permanently
Hi, You said you believe in God The Father & His Son Yeshua (Jesus) who is the Great Physician...The Great Healer. Do you REALLY believe in Him or no? He has "the last word..." not your doctor, He's in control...not your doctor. Not "Church" Not "Religion..." but do you have an intimate relationship with The LORD? He can & will heal you if you TRUST HIM, BELIEVE IN HIM & HAVE FAITH THAT HE WILL! Why do we humans turn to everything & everyone else except Elohim (GOD...) When He is always just there waiting to help us/heal us for His Glory of which He is worthy. All we have to do is ask & believe. HEBREWS 11:6 - *But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.* Shalom, Yeshua heal, help & bless you.
My mother was diagnosed with COPD some 10 years ago, they told her if she didn't quit smoking she'd have 5 or so years but if she quit 15. She never quit, she passed away 29th of November 2020. I watched her breathing slowly get worse over the years but it wasn't until she was diagnosed with bowel cancer 4 years ago than she really went down hill. She beat cancer after all the treatment but she lost so much weight she was a walking skeleton, she was never able to gain the weight due to her lungs being week and exercise was hard, her stomach shrunk so much she could only eat small portion. I was so grateful she beat cancer but her last year of remission she passed away in her sleep. Its only been 2 months and its still killing me. I didn't expect it and I wasn't ready to loose my mam. She was bad with her breathing for a week before she died but I was so used to her having good days and bad so to me it was just another bad episode. I'd give anything for my mum back and I wish so badly there was something I could have done. Wish there was a cure for this but I'm not sure there ever will be because in doctors eyes it's self inflicted and won't put the money into it.
Hiya! Am in Vegas and they are SO behind the times here. Other countries have lung wash and NO COPD!! There are other treatments but sadly most Docs care about the money but too like you say you HAVE to quit smoking. Its the worst way to die. Its just awful! I pray that you will be healthy and that the rest of YOUR life will be the best of your life. Stay close to God. Your best relationship!Mom is always with you 💕 Cheers ~🌞
@@sonshine5038 Thank you so much for your kind words. It's a horrible way to die, like I say I watched my mother suffer so much for so long. I miss her terribly but know she's with God and she's no longer suffering. She's at peace and I will be with her again that I hold on to
My mom was told she has copd and her life has been shorten . She's sapose to pass in July. Please pray for my mom and me I'm not ready to let her go 😔😔😔
@@lynseymcfadden3226 😔 I pray in the name of the most high priest Jesus Christ that the chains of addiction are broken. I believe that God is all powerful. I pray that our moms survive this sickness in the name of Jesus.
I also have severe emphysema and now also bad osteoporosis with two fracture of the spine I live alone to and it’s scares me to death I have family but they don’t have time to be my carer and now have a company that comes in Where in the uk are you
Is smoking drugs a factor cos I think it's the cause of mine for years and tears I smoked crack and heroin every week and really heavily and smoking ciggarretts unfiltered for 25 years then went onto vaping constantly for 8 years never had that thing out my mouth finally kicked that and I've always had asthma but not to bad but has got alot worse as got older now I think I've got copd so one carnt say I didn't deserve it wen I've treated my lungs like this for so long hope my nxt life isn't as bad as this ones been and remember don't do drugs kids
@Ady942 Nicotine is a drug. I would say prob the unfiltered cigarettes did the most damage to your lungs. Sorry you are suffering with your breathing, nothing worse.
My Primary Care Doctor at UC Health and my Orthopedic Doctor Angelo Colosimo influenced me to quit smoking cigarettes. I stopped smoking mid December 2022. I had a total knee replacement operation in June of 2023. I was told to loose my Nicotine Patch. Big Mistake. When I was released from Drake Hospital after Rehabilitation for a couple of weeks, I started smoking again! It's definitely causing me to be fatigued! I just put in a request for more Nicotine Patches today, in hopes of getting another chance! I might have to use 2 Patches at first? I felt a lot better not smoking and my breathing got better. My Singing got better too
I had a friend at the retirement community where I live who had "end stage COPD", or so she said she had been told by her doctor. She got around fine without supplemental oxygen and had all her mental faculties. She took the prescribed "breathing treatments" and I think she slept with a nasal cannula for O2 at night. One day about a year ago she died suddenly without prior increased symptoms at her residence. I didn't get details, but something tells me she had some other issues healthwise I wasn't aware of. It's like she was here one day and gone the next, just that sudden.
It's a disease that is not the same for everyone. One day fine. The next not. It's been around since Henry the VII, the VIII,father..the don't seem to make progress with lung diseases. They need to separate them and start working Stat. If everyone had a CT scan, most would be shocked...people need to fight for advancements and cures.
There are 6 stages, I have copd, I have had lung surgery, i have Sever Emphaseama I’m still active I do get tired and breath less, excsercise is the best way to cope if you just sit there your not expanding your lungs it just gets worse quicker xx
@@Doritbardola I appreciate your advice on exercise I have COPD. Especially asthma and emphysema. I live alone so I exercise less than I should. But I will try to be more active as possible because it's summer now and the heat is not my friend.
I was just diagnosed with stage 3 (severe) COPD. The pulmonologist told me there are four stages. Stage 4 is called "very severe." Btw, I'm a never-smoker. Concrete dust was the culprit for me. I do drywall, too, so that probably didn't help.
I quit smoking 15 yrs ago. I was diagnosed with OCPD a couple of pf weeks ago. I’m 56 and Currently in the NCARNG. My coughing comes and go, no mucus. I just get tired just doing normal stuff like taking a shower.
I'm 19 I have chronic bronchitis it started when I was 15 I don't have any medicine to take I still having trouble in breathing for 4 years I'm tired it affects my mental health, I have other issue I have supper sensitive nose I have sinusitis.
We are on same page plz get treated as early as possible , you will be provided with inhaler and loose weight if you are overweight side , this is what I was told too
I got diagnosed with COPD at age 22. For me it was a mix of a genetic neuromuscular disease, living in polluted areas growing up and constant and sometimes severe lung infections (like bronchitis or pneumonia, septic pneumonia or a bacterial induced pulmonary edema and various other bacterial and viral infections and their complications as a child. I also had aspiration pneumonia a lot from even things like inhaling my own saliva. Sometimes i wonder how im alive.
The dwp don't care what you got BUT how it affects you from living. Working. Sleeping normally. Ususally something sucking air out of your lungs qualifys.
@@joprocter4573yes if it’s bad enough and affects ur day to day living it’s not what you’ve got it’s how it affects you .,, the way you answer the questions are important… get someone to help you fill in the form if you find it to difficult… evidence is good and so is evidence from a friend or family that knows you best can help very much .. doctors don’t see how it affects you on a day to day basic so get someone that knows you to put in a cover evidence
hi guys im 26 years i haved an bad cold ,flu or pneumonia in 2018 and i dont treated im smoker from 14 years until now, from 2018 until now im always short of breath and cant even walk without weezing is soemone from here same it can be copd or asthma im scared to make a control in scared of copd😫
@@peewee7530 i dont know what to say but doctors are bad at the begining they sayd im healthly but at spirometry i started always more bad tohave the results maybe 70% lung capacity or lower
I have COPD and use an inhaler three times a day and a breathing manual machine I blow in to help expand my lungs. Go to the doctor! If you catch COPD soon enough it can be reversed or stop it from getting worse. Of course you will have to stop smoking.
Aku juga mengalami COPD di umur saya yang masih 27 tahun,saya berharap bisa menemani anak dan suami saya lebih lama ,dan saya juga berusaha minum jus buah setiap hari, untuk mendukung fungsi paru saya,
When i was a child two months was a long time. As an adult i start thinking in terms of 40 - 50 years is a long time, You did not adequately answer the question. Or, i will live well past 100 years with COPD
Hey everyone's different, I have copd emphasema, I've had lung surgery to take right top lung away, your dad's gonna be fine lots of excersise to strengthen your muscles copd sufferers use them more than a normal person with a healthy set of lungs would, eat healthily drink plenty of water we have to drink more because of the Mucas we have to bring up, I've had this copd for years and smoked I don't now Thoe, but giving up is a must, physio therapy is good at your local hospital for it , depends how bad it is but it works specially going swimming, this is not a death sentence you can learn to live with it I've had it 20 yrs I'm still hear good luck .rember lots of excersise.
I have COPD, Pulmonary Hypertension and my Diaphragm is Paralyzed 75% and i do not qualify for no treatment and i have CHF and Nodules all in My Lungs so my question can I live 5 or 10 years? could i get a appointment with Your Hospital and would it help??
Your life expectation largely depends on the stage of damage. Eventually it would progress to the moment where you suffocate. There is one prominent therapy in Turkey which helps to treat this effectively. ua-cam.com/video/fYenXeeq_-c/v-deo.html

My mother lived 10 years, from 36 to 46 years old. And poor soul she suffered badly with it from the start.
Is smoking drugs a factor cos I think it's the cause of mine for years and tears I smoked crack and heroin every week and really heavily and smoking ciggarretts unfiltered for 25 years then went onto vaping constantly for 8 years never had that thing out my mouth finally kicked that and I've always had asthma but not to bad but has got alot worse as got older now I think I've got copd so one carnt say I didn't deserve it wen I've treated my lungs like this for so long hope my nxt life isn't as bad as this ones been and remember don't do drugs kids
@Ady942 Nicotine is a drug. I would say prob the unfiltered cigarettes did the most damage to your lungs. Sorry you are suffering with your breathing, nothing worse.
My Primary Care Doctor at UC Health and my Orthopedic Doctor Angelo Colosimo influenced me to quit smoking cigarettes. I stopped smoking mid December 2022. I had a total knee replacement operation in June of 2023. I was told to loose my Nicotine Patch. Big Mistake. When I was released from Drake Hospital after Rehabilitation for a couple of weeks, I started smoking again! It's definitely causing me to be fatigued! I just put in a request for more Nicotine Patches today, in hopes of getting another chance! I might have to use 2 Patches at first? I felt a lot better not smoking and my breathing got better. My Singing got better too
Read Alan Carr "Easy way to quit smoking".. you won't need anything else.
I had a friend at the retirement community where I live who had "end stage COPD", or so she said she had been told by her doctor. She got around fine without supplemental oxygen and had all her mental faculties. She took the prescribed "breathing treatments" and I think she slept with a nasal cannula for O2 at night. One day about a year ago she died suddenly without prior increased symptoms at her residence. I didn't get details, but something tells me she had some other issues healthwise I wasn't aware of. It's like she was here one day and gone the next, just that sudden.
It's a disease that is not the same for everyone. One day fine. The next not. It's been around since Henry the VII, the VIII,father..the don't seem to make progress with lung diseases. They need to separate them and start working Stat. If everyone had a CT scan, most would be shocked...people need to fight for advancements and cures.

Great vid mate my mum had been told she has copd don’t know how bad it is but hope soon there will be a cure god bless u all
Same Bro I Hope she can live long
How is she now days?
@@CrawfordGrimaldi hi there she’s been better but the progression of her copd has slowed down and she’s doing okay
@@justalyx414 thanks bro sorry for long reply
@@MrBeigns how is is copd now
My mother never smoked but got COPD anyway. Not fair!
I never smoked either I’m only 32 and I can’t even stand up or do basic tasks as I simply cannot breath
Great videos !!!
What are the stage descriptions of COPD? I never knew they had stages like cancer.
There are 6 stages, I have copd, I have had lung surgery, i have Sever Emphaseama I’m still active I do get tired and breath less, excsercise is the best way to cope if you just sit there your not expanding your lungs it just gets worse quicker xx
@@Doritbardola I appreciate your advice on exercise I have COPD. Especially asthma and emphysema. I live alone so I exercise less than I should. But I will try to be more active as possible because it's summer now and the heat is not my friend.
4 my Dr said was the last stage !!
As far as I know there's 4 stages.
I was just diagnosed with stage 3 (severe) COPD. The pulmonologist told me there are four stages. Stage 4 is called "very severe."
Btw, I'm a never-smoker. Concrete dust was the culprit for me. I do drywall, too, so that probably didn't help.
Quit smoking get a bicycle plan a route and make a day of it.... Obviously avoiding high traffic.
It is through watching this video I've discovered that my COPD must have led to me also being diagnosed with Sleep Apnea.
I have COPD i had terrible night after i got onto trilegy i sleep so well its been out awhile now are you on TRILEGY🌾🐿️
@@dawnegan3984 I don't have trouble sleeping, in fact the exact opposite! I sleep for 14 - 17 hours out of every 24! I'm not on any medication at all.
5 -10years .if you don't quiet smoking .you can develop complication .
10 to 15 if you quiet smoking .
Please stop smoking it is for your health and wealth
I quit smoking 15 yrs ago. I was diagnosed with OCPD a couple of pf weeks ago. I’m 56 and Currently in the NCARNG. My coughing comes and go, no mucus. I just get tired just doing normal stuff like taking a shower.
Similar but I'm pretty much u 15 years ago, what's NCARNG'? U ok mate?
Is coughing considered one of the symptoms of COPD?
I was diagnosed with copd, the first symptom was dangerously coughing
I never smoked a cigarette in my life but had childhood asthma and the asthma went on into my teens, could this have cause my COPD
I'm 19 I have chronic bronchitis it started when I was 15 I don't have any medicine to take I still having trouble in breathing for 4 years I'm tired it affects my mental health, I have other issue I have supper sensitive nose I have sinusitis.
You should be on inhalers. Get to a doctor ASAP.
Don't loose hope!💖
Keep fighting and what stage are you in?
We are on same page plz get treated as early as possible , you will be provided with inhaler and loose weight if you are overweight side , this is what I was told too
all the best brother
Same problem brother
I got diagnosed with COPD at age 22. For me it was a mix of a genetic neuromuscular disease, living in polluted areas growing up and constant and sometimes severe lung infections (like bronchitis or pneumonia, septic pneumonia or a bacterial induced pulmonary edema and various other bacterial and viral infections and their complications as a child. I also had aspiration pneumonia a lot from even things like inhaling my own saliva. Sometimes i wonder how im alive.
Wts ur age now ?
@sunnykunalfitnessstudio9990 I'm 23
Is there any clinical studies in Durban, South Africa on COPD
I need to know if I qualify for disability
The dwp don't care what you got BUT how it affects you from living. Working. Sleeping normally. Ususally something sucking air out of your lungs qualifys.
@@joprocter4573yes if it’s bad enough and affects ur day to day living it’s not what you’ve got it’s how it affects you .,, the way you answer the questions are important… get someone to help you fill in the form if you find it to difficult… evidence is good and so is evidence from a friend or family that knows you best can help very much .. doctors don’t see how it affects you on a day to day basic so get someone that knows you to put in a cover evidence
hi guys im 26 years i haved an bad cold ,flu or pneumonia in 2018 and i dont treated im smoker from 14 years until now, from 2018 until now im always short of breath and cant even walk without weezing is soemone from here same it can be copd or asthma im scared to make a control in scared of copd😫
Have your heart checked it could be your heart.
@@peewee7530 i dont know what to say but doctors are bad at the begining they sayd im healthly but at spirometry i started always more bad tohave the results maybe 70% lung capacity or lower
I have COPD and use an inhaler three times a day and a breathing manual machine I blow in to help expand my lungs. Go to the doctor! If you catch COPD soon enough it can be reversed or stop it from getting worse. Of course you will have to stop smoking.
@@peewee7530 iloprost and misoprostol check about this ..!
Aku juga mengalami COPD di umur saya yang masih 27 tahun,saya berharap bisa menemani anak dan suami saya lebih lama ,dan saya juga berusaha minum jus buah setiap hari, untuk mendukung fungsi paru saya,
When i was a child two months was a long time. As an adult i start thinking in terms of 40 - 50 years is a long time, You did not adequately answer the question. Or, i will live well past 100 years with COPD
We would like to live at least 79 years I have bpoc chronic bronchitis mixed pulmonary emphysema
If a 53 year old man is diagnosed with stage 3 copd..he quits smoking eats well and takes meds.., how long can you live for?
Hey everyone's different, I have copd emphasema, I've had lung surgery to take right top lung away, your dad's gonna be fine lots of excersise to strengthen your muscles copd sufferers use them more than a normal person with a healthy set of lungs would, eat healthily drink plenty of water we have to drink more because of the Mucas we have to bring up, I've had this copd for years and smoked I don't now Thoe, but giving up is a must, physio therapy is good at your local hospital for it , depends how bad it is but it works specially going swimming, this is not a death sentence you can learn to live with it I've had it 20 yrs I'm still hear good luck .rember lots of excersise.
@@Doritbardola Thank you for your reply and advice, all the best.
@@CrawfordGrimaldi you are welcome 😊
@@Doritbardola bro,I'm suffering breathing problems,I take ct scan few bullac noted,how long life span please tell me,
Only god knows
I want to thank Dr Madida who I met on UA-cam for curing me of Parkinson Disease.

I have COPD, Pulmonary Hypertension and my Diaphragm is Paralyzed 75% and i do not qualify for no treatment and i have CHF and Nodules all in My Lungs so my question can I live 5 or 10 years? could i get a appointment with Your Hospital and would it help??
Your life expectation largely depends on the stage of damage. Eventually it would progress to the moment where you suffocate. There is one prominent therapy in Turkey which helps to treat this effectively. ua-cam.com/video/fYenXeeq_-c/v-deo.html
@@BT-km7nl Thank You for answering me and offering some advice? they put me on Hospice care then they switched me to Palliative care and now their putting me back on Hospice but no one will give me a timeline? to put my wishes in writing is something i should do
@@sinfullyblondie it is likely that you have 6 months to live or so. Hence they put you to hospice. I am so sorry. I wish i would be wrong but hospice is probably last stop here.
@@BT-km7nl it is a chance but i don't feel like it's gonna be that soon they just want me to have everything i need for my Final Journey probably a year or two :)
@@BT-km7nl a lot has changed with Hospice and You can even Graduate from Hospice but You don't have to be dying in 6 months anymore and i have known people on Hospice 2 years.
