I am copd late stage 3 with a new PCP

Should I request to see a lung specialist?My pcp doesn't seem to be worried even tho I can feel worsening changes? She did a cat scan and said yes you have emphysema and chronic bronchitis.Dont see why your left lung would ache tho.

  1. Hi . It's always a good idea for someone who has COPD, or any lung condition, to see a pulmonologist. Can you get a referral? If the ache worsens or makes you more nervous for any reason, I hope you'll consider a visit to the ER. At the ER, they can run more tests immediatley to determine what's going on. Keep us updated, if you don't mind. I'd like to know how you're doing. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
