Anyone used CBD oil to reduce the anxiety of flares?
I have bad days and good days. Lately the bad has outweighed the good. I'm 82. I've had a good life. I've always been a half full glass kind of guy and very active. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and have reached a point of not being able been to walk for more than 3 minutes. I test out at stage 3 ( severe ). I'm experiencing a lot of anxiety and wondering if CBD oil would ease that feeling. This is a new thought for me, I've never used it before. Anyone have any experience with it and COPD. I would appreciate any input. Thanks
Hi.
Thank you for your post. As you may well know, we cannot offer medical advice over the Internet, for your own safety of course. Although, I am aware that there are some community members here who have tried CBD oil. It would be neat if one of them chimed in here with their thoughts on this topic. What do you think?

, I'm confident other members of our community will chime in if they have any experience to share! In the meantime, I hope you have some time to look over the article John shared! It gives some great background on CBD for COPD! All the best, Sam S. (team member).

I`ve been sceptical of cbd oils and also don`t want an inadvertent psychoactive effect, so tried it with some caution. I find it good tho at generally helping me to relax, I usually have three good drops at bedtime and I sleep well most of the time. The one I use is 1500mg 25% which is one of the stronger ones. They tend to be very expensive but fortunately I have a friend who buys in bulk.
Personally, I have found the herb valerian root to have similar effects as CBD. You can even find a tea with valerian at most grocery stores (It's called Sleepytime Plus). Check with your doctor first, but it might be another option to consider. -Melissa, team member
