best ways to cope with emphysema.
I've suffered emphysema for 3 or 4 years now and am still being prescribed Salamol and Trimbow inhalers along with periodic oxygen. Even though my symptoms are getting worse, my GP and nurses say that there's nothing else they can give me. Surely, there must be alternatives ?
Hi
. Have you ever been referred to pulmonary rehab? We are not medical experts, so it's hard for us to say whether there are other prescription medications that might help, but exercise can make a big difference, especially with emphysema. You might also want to consider getting a second opinion. Second opinions are usually covered by insurance and often welcomed by primary doctors. I hope you get more feedback from others in the community. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
