Stage II

By penlor

1 min read

I was diagnosed 6 years ago with COPD and am now in stage II. I am only on inhalers at this time and have never seen a pulmonary doctor, only my GP.

My question is “does anyone have stomach pain with their COPD”? I had this chronic pain and the doctor can’t figure out why.

Thanks for all replies!

Hi penlor, and thanks for your post. While I'm hopeful you will hear from others in the community who may share their anecdotal experiences with gastrointestinal issues, I thought you might gain some additional insight from this two-part article on COPD and bloating. First, part 1: <a href='https://copd.net/living/bloating-part-1' target='_blank'>https://copd.net/living/bloating-part-1/</a>. And next, part 2: <a href='https://copd.net/living/bloating-part-2' target='_blank'>https://copd.net/living/bloating-part-2/</a>. I do hope you find the material is helpful to read. All the best, Leon (site moderator <a href='https://copd.net' target='_blank'>COPD.net</a>)

Thanks for the interesting article but my issue is not bloating. My issue is chronic pain which is always there just the intensity changes.

I’ve encountered pancreas issue since diagnosed with COPD. I take Prilosec in the evening when I go to bed. This helps the stomach. Hope you find out the cause.
