I guess I've had COPD for awhile, just wasn't sure of the signs and symptoms. Actually thought it was my weight gain, but I've been to ER numerous times over shortness of breath. ER gives you a breathing treatment, sends you on your way.
Well I finally got a recommendation for a pulmonologist, did my tests, finally had a diagnosis. She told me I had moderate COPD, so my first diagnosis was already stage 2. Makes me wonder how long I was actually struggling, but anyway, I'm doing the things that I have to do to try and be some kinda normal, but some days it's really hard to do. Thanks for allowing me to share. God bless.
