Fantastic lecture. I'm a personal trainer in London, UK. One of the best things about the UK's membership of the EU was the Directive banning smoking in enclosed public spaces, which forced a change in UK law, which in turn led to a reduction in lung cancers and COPD in the UK. Sadly the UK voted for Brexit, so a whole range of new (post 2016) EU health-promotion measures are no longer implemented in the UK. Here in London we have ULEZ (ultra low emission zone) which levies a daily charge on high-polluting vehicles in London. The ULEZ scheme was recently extended to outer boroughs of London, in order to reduce air pollution in these areas. This is good news for the thousands of COPD sufferers in London, but the powerful car-lobby is fighting hard against cleaner air in London. Our NHS (National Health Service) has a huge backlog of COPD sufferers waiting for pulmonary rehab, due to lack of funding. Over 6.4 million people in the UK still smoke, so each year more and more people contract COPD.

I have been doing these Nitric Oxide Dump exercises, which have kept me in fair shape over several years. I had a bout of bronchitis early in January 2024, and have since struggled with phlegm on the chest, and tightness of the chest, but no shortness of breath. I have discovered that the throat irritation and coughing go away for the rest of the day once I do these exercises when I get up. Sometimes I just do nasal breathing, sometimes I would use dumbells at part of the exercise. The phegm on the chest clears after the morning exercises, for basically the rest of the day. I am 69.

I went into my pulmonary appointment a very sick lady. I was told I had moderate stage 2. That was several years ago. Each Tim I went back, every 6 months, I was better. In my last visit in March 2023 I did X-ray and breathing test. I did almost perfect, X-ray showed minimal emphysema. They were so surprised. I research everything to help emphysema. I always said I don’t think I ever had emphysema as it can’t get better. I take trelegy. I was severely vitamin D deficient when I first went in. Level was 10. Iron was 6, B12 was 120. I have been taking b12 shot and prescription D and iron. I have smoked ultra light cigarettes since I was 17, I still smoke today. Trying to stop is hard! Well, may 30, 2023 someone was burning insulation down the hill from my house, it was late about 10;00pm and I smelled an electrical smell in my house. Coming through my window ac units, I ran through the house thinking my house is on fire , it smelled almost electrical. I opened my back door and my entire yard was coated in thick floating smoke, resembled fog. I breathed it in as I was trying to see if my house was in fire. I didn’t find out it was from insulation till several days later. First day or two after inhaling the smoke I was okay, then shortness of breath start, as days went by it got a lot worse, almost like severe asthma attacks. My oxygen dropped to 87 several time then would go back up to 94-95. My oxygen usually runs 97-100. It drops the worse when I sleep and late at night. About 5 days ago I went to an unscheduled appointment with my pulmonary dr to see if any damage was done. I told him everything and I did a breathing test, I don’t think I did to good on it. He said the X-ray looked ok. He gave me prednisone and Z pack. I can’t take the prednisone because of another medication I’m on. Last night my oxygen drop to 90 and stayed there till this morning. I used Boost oxygen in a can and it would go up but just temporarily. If my X-ray looked ok I’m scared the toxic fumes damaged the cells that carry oxygen throughout my body. My blood hasn’t been tested for any toxins. I’m so scared I will not get back to the way I was before this. I don’t know what I need to do. I don’t think my pulmonary doctor is familiar with how toxic insulation smoke is. I didn’t breathe I. A whole lot but I breathed in enough. I’m scared this is going to be permanent and I will not get better. I don’t know what to do. I wish he would have given me some oxygen for when it gets that low so I wouldn’t have to use store bought oxygen in a can.

[@billbelcher7099]

How are you doing now? That's terrible what happened after all that work to repair your lungs. I hope you bounced back. I have severe Emphysema so I'm probably not going to benefit much but I need to try something fast. My o2 went down to 71% and scared me to death. I've been on Prednisone for a few months and supposed to start Trelegy in a couple weeks but trying to taper off Prednisone. If you see this, please let me know how the Trelegy worked. Take care.

[@billbelcher7099]

[@SpaPartyCentral]

If you think you have this, tell your doctor you want to rule out COPD. Word it that way, not "i think i might have COPD". Dont go in describing all your symptoms hoping they'll come to the conclusion themselves. Most doctors aren't that bright, they're just good enough at memorization that they were able to pass tests and get the clout. Sadly, I'm really not joking.
