Sore nipples

I'm just wondering as I have copd and been into hospital twice last year.. is sore nipples a symptom that comes with copd or could it be something else ive this problem for around nine monthes hopefully someone on here will know thanks... also I'm a bloke not a woman thanks again

  1. Hi . I have not heard of sore nipples as a symptom of COPD, but it's possible one of your medications is causing it or maybe a sensitivity to certain clothing. Have you asked your doctor about it? Here is an article from Banner Health about potential causes of sore nipples in men: https://www.bannerhealth.com/healthcareblog/better-me/possible-causes-of-nipple-pain-in-men. I hope this helps and that you get both input from others in the community and relief. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)

    1. Ok I hadn't heard of it mentioned anywhere thinking about it i had about 15 tea shirts like new given me off a mate and they actualy smelled quite nice maybe it's something to do with that also I'm on a new inhaler made by aztrazeneca the company who made the covid jabs or one of its a study I'm on and it realy does help clearing my chest I still get out of breathe and tired all the time copd is a sod turn on the settee when laying down to face the tv and I'm gasping for air struggle to make a cuppa in mornings got to wait for a few hours then I go out to the kitchen slowly yeah copd isn't nice at all sorry for going on thanks for getting back also I will ask my doctor to check my other problem out thanks again

      1. Hi . I'm glad the new medication helps and I hope you see more improvement over time. Let us know what your doctor says. Do you live alone or do you have support at home? - Lori (Team Member)
