Hi again, PlainDave, and thanks so much for your response to my colleague, Lyn.
I'm so sorry to hear you had an flare up on Saturday and were hospitalized for it.
As you now are aware, flare-ups or exacerbations, can affect people who have COPD. I thought you might gain some additional insight from this article on the very same topic: https://copd.net/basics/acute-exacerbations/. I do hope you find it to be helpful.
Now that you are home from the hospital, how are you feeling?
I want to take this time to wish you a healthy and peaceful New Year season. We're so glad to have you as a member of this online community.
Warmest regards,
Leon (site moderator COPD.net)
