Tired of not being able to breathe

Let me start by telling you I never smoked; my parents did in the car, in the house, everywhere when I was growing up. At the age of 21 I was rushed to the hospital because I lost my breath and couldn’t breathe they took x-rays, blood tests, and I was diagnosed with COPD I am now 61 still can’t breathe, been put in the hospital many times for COPD and living in nursing homes because I can’t breathe even with an inhaler nebulizer. This is so sad.
