Diagnosed With COPD, Had Chronic Bronchitis, Using Inhalers. How To Minimize The Usage?
I was diagnosed with COPD and hospitalized and checked over for 7 days. They said I had Chronic Broncitis and o0rdered enhalers and oxygen . I sleep with an oxygen nose piece and have since April. But this past monthI haven t been using the oxygen very much and actually feel much better if I don t use it or my nebulizer . I would like to talk to my pulmonalist but he just has interns return my calls. Since ragweed season is almost over my coughing has almost stopped. I need an exam by an allergist and a pulmonalogist. I truly don t know which way to jump. Help.
