COPD

Hi I am a 62 year old female. I have had COPD since 2014. It was severe. I got treated with different types of inhale disks. I was in and out of hospitals several times, was admitted once for a week.

I now take Breo and Spiriva. Now I am moderate stage. I have really bad shortness of breath all the time no matter what I take. Now I have sleep apnea because my oxygen goes all the way down at night when I go to sleep. I was a smoker for 30 years but now I am a non-smoker in 6 years. I wish I had stopped back then before I got COPD but I didn't until it was too late. God bless everyone.
