Hello, still breathing!!
I am 82 years old, was told when I was in my early 50's I had emphysema. Now I have COPD, and on 3 inhalers. It seems there are different things that make it worse, like some cooking odors, extreme cold or hot, but normally have no problem at night. I have read that it will eventually cause the muscles in your legs to become weak, as mine have. I take a lot of vitamins, I don't eat proper meals, my hair is falling out, I get bruising all over my arms and legs, don't know why, but do try to walk, move around, as long as I don't move too fast, I am ok. Question!!! Why do we have to take meds for high blood pressure when we have COPD???
