How, What, and WHY that The GOBLET CELLS, DONOT Make EXCESSIVE MUCUS / PHLEGM / SPUTUM in The LUNGS of The SEVERE COPD’er / Stage lll ‘er?!?
Before I was DIAGNOSED With SEVERE COPD / Stage lll , on NOVEMBER 16, 2017, by My Pulmonary Doctor, I had an ASTHMA ATTACK / COPD FLARE, on THANKSGIVING, NOVEMBER 26, 2015, GASPING for AIR, in the Morning Hours.
BayViewHealthCare NURSE had to CALL 📞Doctor - On - CALL @ LOCAL HOSPITAL IS to get Me on OXYGEN and NEBULISER, + CHEST X - RAY. I think it was PNEUMONIA BUT, NEVER TOLD, BUT TOLD had FLUID in My LUNGS.
FORWARD To DAY, During the PERIOD had BRONCHITIS in 2017, 2018, and 2019, in 2019, it was December just 2 months after CAROL, END STAGE COPD’er and My SISTER Passed.
Never had to HAWK My LUNG PHLEGM and EXPECTORATE It as SPUTUM, My LATE GRAMPA and MOM did.
But after My 3rd BOUT of COVID -19, now have My “ GRAMPA SHOCK “ WET, PRODUCTIVE COUGH with SPUTUM!!
My LUNGS were of NORMAL HEALTHY BEING — like of STAGE l COPD, SHORTNESS Of BREATH, But Other wize clear
