Mr
It’s probably been 5 yrs since I was diagnosed with COPD I used to smoke cigarettes and cigars.
Getting diagnosed
Mowing my yard one day I kept running out of breath many times called my doctor got an appointment that ended with a chest X-ray, went home was called that day, and was told I would be receiving an inhaler in the mail. I have been on it ever since, 4 times a day. COPD has slowed me down over the years. I used to love playing golf, but I get winded easily and has taken the fun out of competition. I still play but not as much.
