      Fill My Cup do all nurses do this? Because I find it a little bit scary that nurses in the UK don't understand their patients ailments. Anyone can watch a you tube video and diagnose themselves. People go to hospital to seek professional help by people who you would hope they knew what they were doing. Not hating, your comment just scares me a bit!

    I had no idea my COPD was the same as emphysema. Sounds like things are going to get horrible. What really sucks is that I only had to smoke about 6 mos and I was diagnosed with it. As soon as I started smoking, I developed a steady cough & coughing up stuff. Even if I had quit, it wouldn't have helped. So unfair. I don't smoke now....but it's TOO LATE!!! I don't want to die suffocating. Why can't they come up with better treatments to help get the air out?

    She struggles with GERD and possible acid reflux into her lung.
    Her apt has flooded several times with mold issues.
    It seems logical to me that acid reflux, and chronic mold exposure would promote the development of COPD.

    Speaking about the “cost” of this disease being 50 billion dollars.... I must wonder what that horrible amount might be reduced by if big pharma (& their billion dollar profits) were to charge less than (the approximate) $300 to $400 PER inhaler? The exception to that high-dollar inhaler cost is the Proventil Inhaler which is about $76. The explanation of COPD in this video is very helpful & well explained.

    I have never smoked nor had my mother or her sister. I hate that judgement so much. I am an RN but your explanation of the spirometry was helpful to me. I am retired and luckily my severe sob did not start until 3 yrs ago. I was always coughing and sob with exertion but pretty normal. It just took a turn for the worse and can find no specific reason. I spent 18 months of test and more test and specialist. I am just learning to live with the restrictions. The saddest is I can no longer travel in comfort. I am 70 by the way.

    Please remember that many ppl that have COPD never smoked. I grew up with a chemical plant in my back yard. Literally n it hurt to breathe the yellow air in the hot summers. Since moving to Houston Tx I was diagnosed with COPD. They have terrible air here as well. Developed many allergies also.

  • @MOAB-UT
    @MOAB-UT 2 роки тому +5

    Never ignore the nutritional aspect of this. All things equal, gut health, and avoiding inflammatory foods including Lectins and Sugar can make a significant and very positive difference. Even minor changes in diet like cutting out grains, soda, sugar, etc., can have a huge positive impact. Doctors are not quick to address this and it is a disservice. I am not suggesting diet will cure COPD but it can definitely help. Whenever a person has pain, they have inflammation.

    I just wanted to thank you for your informative videos, MedCram (love that name... reminds me of how my friend used to "cram" for his finals). In this world of so much bogus information, your straightforward podcasts are like a breath of fresh air, completely without hype or "network news reporting." Incidentally, I'm a big proponent of using mega doses of vita C to boost the human immune system, especially "Liposomal Vitamin C" in the liquid form, proven to be ten times more potent and biologically available, especially with critically ill patients. Maybe you'd care to do a story on the subject? Good luck in all that you do sir, and thanks again.

      @tedjay1312 5 років тому

      Chemicals used on the plants that are fed to animals in huge quantities (animals eat more than humans) and then concentrated in their flesh that humans then eat. It's a good case for plant based eating instead of animals.

      Next - we and our animals are Fed these Crops.
      This doesn’t include animal DNA 🧬 and AntiBiotics added to crops + livestock/poultry.

I saw an allergist, and he tested me for allergies, and found that I did have some issues. I changed my diet, by taking out dairy, and other things. However, at certain times of the year I have flair ups. I've had a lung xray which showed clear lungs. I've had bronchitis, pneumonia over the years too. Should I press my Dr for more tests to determine if it is COPD?

    Why is COPD increasing when smoking rates are falling quite dramatically? People living longer?

    I feel sad for those that refuse to examine H2O2 therapy. Have seen it work in horses with severe COPD. Volume rose 40%, pt. gained 150 pounds, and lived several more years.

    What about people like FireFighters, who suffer a burn to their lungs? Is there a different name for that? Are there different symptoms and treatments?

    How does COPD differentiate itself from asthma? Is it fair to ask which disease is worse or easier to control or treat?

  • @richardmills8401
    @richardmills8401 4 роки тому +6

    I had fluid removed from my chest cavity 2 years ago and spent 20 days in the hospital. When I was released I was told I had emphysema and pneumonia but never was offered any kind of follow up treatment. I'm really starting to have trouble with my breathing again. I never smoked and have no idea why I have this. Is there anything I can do that will help me with my breathing besides another hospital stay and chest tubes? Ty so much

    C.O.P.D. is a catchall it seems for several lung diseases. I have an emphysema diagnosis but think the hyperinflation is a result of my extreme childhood asthma, which it seems to me would cause a chronic state of hyperinflation. The doctor took a modern scan of my lungs and assured me, after a bout with viral pneumonia in 2009, that emphysema was present, though I couldn't see it in the scan when he pointed to it. Good for a disability anyway!
