COPD History

Diagnosed in 2016. Came back from England for my son wedding and had my yearly physical. My primary care physician decided that it was time for a real complete physical. Chest X-ray showed an abnormal view. Bam COPD. Been on inhalers since and I done feel bad. I also have Graves’ disease so my symptoms are similar.

My Mother died of COPD and so did my husband (along with cancer of his nasal canal). He passed away before I was diagnosed.

I live in the beauty city of Campbell, California. Been her since 1972. I have two children and four grandkids. I’m doing fine, but COVID-19 has kept me isolated. Completely vaccinated so hope to see my daughter in Colorado in a couple of weeks. Son and father live in England.
