Early symptoms of COPD?

[@andreaberryman5354]

Quit smoking a month ago. I feel worse, not better. The cough snuck up on me. It's gone now-was the first thing to go away when I quit. Couldn't call myself a "heavy" smoker. Saw cardiology to check because I have MVP-only possible comorbidity. My fatigue/loss of energy is getting worse. I feel horrible after quitting smoking when I'm expected to feel all freaking fantastic.

So wait was u diagnosed with this?

[@christinebuckley6106]

I was the same but it does get better

This wil change. Also when you smoke your lungs will freaking hate it and open up as much as they can to let air in. It can temporarily feel "better" but in reality you are feeding your lungs the toxins to make em feel even more shite afterwards...

I told my doctor about my early symptoms multiple times, years ago. He said, I might have an allergy and sent me home. Now its too late.

[@govinda102000]

Thank you for the informative concise video. Never a smoker however for 40 years worked at very old dusty auto repair shop part time and past two years full time. The mechanics never followed my suggesion of dumping/cleaning aspestos filled brake drums outside when replacing brake shoes but always inside on the floor. For heating the shop, they use a used motor oil heater/ burner.. Doctors say I have moderate emphysema I am quiting the job tomorrow.

[@Taliyah263]

You doing alright now?

[@govinda102000]

@@Taliyah263 I will see when I do some cycling in the heat this summer. I'm going to the south of Italy for two months and hopefully I will have the energy this time to escape the packs of dogs that wonder and harass when I'm doing shopping/errands. Where I go, alot of mafia land owners have dogs but the dogs wander around the dirt roads. Hillbilly land you can say.I didn't quit my job but we have no use for the used motor oil burner for heat now and the garage doors are always open with good weather. My boss says he will be relocating this year and he won't be taking the oil burner to the new location. I just gotta wear a mask when sweeping and dealing with piles of hoarded stuff/parts my boss keeps lying around which we could never sell or use. I am doing some breathing exercises found on KZbin which I think will help. I don't think my lower lung will reinflate but I can probably stop it from getting worse.

COPD nowadays can be from pollution, long-term second hand smoke exposure and other chemical exposures. So it's effecting nonsmokers. ❤ Take care everyone.

[@arthurzettel6618]

I've never smoked a day in my life, and yet I have COPD. The only thing left is constant exposure to heavy cigarette smoke when I was growing up.

[@miriamanne4168]

A good partnership with your doctor? I wish I had one doctor with whom I had a good partnership. The reality is I see a different person every time. These people are not even doctors, but clinicians. I just went to the "doctor" and I told the woman who saw me (who was not a doctor) that I have been coughing excessively over the past years off and on for months at a time and it's really tiring and starting to worry me. She listened to my chest, said "you have a chest infection" and prescribed antibiotics.

[@stormaurora5536]

I've smoked for 40 years now and although I get very breathless on any exertion, I have never had a cough. I've noticed the last few weeks that after each cigarette I have wheezing which is a new symptom. Currently undiagnosed but assume I have copd.

[@BVA663]

Can you have a normal spirometry test in the early stages of copd. Had a normal spirometry six months ago, then had two bad chest infections which lasted a couple of weeks each. Since then have been having random episodes of breathlessness and chest tightness. Peak flow test was low while I had the chest infections but is ok now. Gp suspects I have copd. Have medication to take but feel reluctant to start the treatment in case it’s just the effects of the chest infections that have made my lungs sensitive or maybe I’ve developed ashma.

[@jamesrich8463]

I know you can have breathing problems even if you don't have copd. I passed on PFT but I still ache and have tightness when breathing. they mentioned possible copd. I'd say you can pass your PFT and have copd still.

[@jacolynparker]

I am 29 and I am going through testing for it tomorrow… apparently my grandma was diagnosed in her 30’s. I started smoking at 12 and my mom smoked maybe (probably) while pregnant with me. It’s so hard to quit, I can’t believe the way they peddle cigarettes to us younger and younger. I sometimes feel like since i was addicted to nicotine so young i didnt have much of a choice in this, i only smoked bc my parents did and i always really liked second hand smoke even as a little child. Been coughing up blood and now i am officially scared, yet somehow cant stop smoking…. I am trying. Hope they give me medicine to help me quit

I had a problem with chewing tobacco and smoking cigs. I was a chronic user of both for years. Try using nicotine pouches called Zyn. That's what I used to quit cold turkey. I'm still using Zyn, but it's far better than what I was going before.

@@andrewphilip4963 hope she answers you, brother....id like to know myself too....im 47...i smoked off and on from 14 to 32...the longest i quit for was a year one time and 2 years another time, so i guess i smoked for a total of 13 years....i quit 14 years ago and havent had any problems. In fact, i was quite athletic up til 5 months ago..i hiked 16 miles 3x a week, mountain biked, worked on the farm, gardening etc..then all of a sudden this chest pressure, shortness of breath and cough started... I actually make myself cough because it somehow feels like it loosens up the tightness in my chest, but it's not a productive cough. I don't have phlegm or anything. I passed my pulmonary function test although I fell a little bit short of the estimated level the machines algorithm predicted... I see a pulmonologists next tuesday and requesting a bronchoscopy as I also have some inflammation, mucus and tightness in my throat... By the way, all this stuff happened to me the same week all my family started testing positive for covid and became symptomatic, although I didn't get symptomatic covid. I just develop these weird symptoms...who knows what this is😔 Thanks for reading.....hope you see improvements at your next appointment!

[@CSIPiper]

What an encouraging message. Just two days ago a MedCheck provider diagnosed me with a COPD exacerbation. I’d had a temp of 100° to 103°F, stuffy nose, cough, headache, sore throat, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms were for 9 days. As fever, nasal congestion, headache got better, the cough got worse and my oxygen went down to 87% to 93%. This is when I went to the MedCheck. I’m a 48 year old two time cancer survivor and had radiation therapy to my left chest wall. Ever since I had developed intermittent wheezing in that left upper lobe. Also, I am a 30 pack year smoker. When the MedCheck provider said she thought I had COPD (normal CXR that day and normal PFTs ~1 year ago), I immediately had a loss of hope. I felt like giving up. I was devastated. I’ve seen the progression of COPD to heart failure and death. This video has given me hope. I think seeing a pulmonologist may not be a bad idea at this point. Thank you so very much for your kind and insightful approach.

[@buffalosolider206]

Dr. Stefan outlined the following main symptoms that would make a doctor think someone might have COPD: * Tiredness, especially when doing activities that you used to be able to do without getting tired. * A cough that produces mucus (sputum) and that lasts for more than two weeks. In addition to these two main symptoms, Dr. Stefan also mentioned that other symptoms of COPD can include: * Wheezing. * Chest tightness. * Frequent respiratory infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. * Lack of energy. * Unintended weight loss. * Swelling in ankles, feet, or legs. If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to see your doctor to get a diagnosis and treatment. COPD is a serious condition, but it can be managed with medication and lifestyle changes.
