Recently diagnosed... looking for encouragement
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with COPD very recently. I have spent a lot of time trying to ignore it. Now I’m ready to do more about it. It scares I have been reading a lot of the information on COPD. Also reading the comments. I smoked cigarettes for along time. I quit over 35 years ago, after my dr, told me to quit. I am 70 years old. Now I’m suffering. I have gone to the emergency room. I am now on medicine. I’m really not sure where to begin. So sorry for ranting, but I’m really scared. would appreciate any comments to encourage me. I’m going to follow up with whatever dr. I need to. Please help.
