Can anyone tell me how u know ur having a copd emphysema attack
hi there, one of our patient leaders was able to answer your question in this thread: https://copd.net/forums/copd-attack#reply-164781 All the best, Sam S. (COPD.net, team member).
I am 47 years old. I smoked 20 cigarettes a day for 30 years. I was recently diagnosed with emphysema. Since then I have stopped smoking. I am active, I walk 8 kilometers 3 times a week. A deep breath bothers me. That's a problem for me. Can emphysema be stopped? Thank you
Hi again, darkaa, and thanks for this post and question - it is a good one! It sounds to me (from what you've shared), that you are making every effort to conform to a good life style to help to manage this disease (COPD/emphysema). It is commendable to see you being so diligent about managing your health.
The simple answer is COP/emphysema is an incurable disease. However, there are lifestyle changes, medications and nutritional strategies that can help to slow down the progression of the disease. What you are doing presently, as said, is admirable. You may also want to collaborate with your physician to map out future plans to manage this disease comprehensively.
What do you think?
