- Ep. 10 - This is a discussion and guide for those who may be suffering from COPD or know someone who is. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a condition affecting the airways and the lungs, marked by shortness of breath on exertion and chronic productive cough. These symptoms tend to get worse over time and this leads to much suffering. COPD is a combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
World COPD day is marked in 2022 on 16 November. It is a moment to raise awareness of this condition, to get more people to check their lungs and diagnose it early. It is a preventable condition for the most part, especially if we all avoided smoking and environmental air pollutants, both indoor and outdoor. #worldcopdday
This is an unedited episode (as most of my content is) because I am trying to explain these concepts in a friendly, human way. I am always looking for ways to improve my content, so if you have any suggestions please let me know.

I'm 47 and have been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis/ chronic small airway disease. I have never smoked, but my parents did. I think 2nd hand smoke and industrial chemicals - Resin caused my illness.
Thank you.
Thank You Doctor! Can You Address The "Barrel Chest" Symptom And/Or Syndrome???
I Was Initially Diagnosed With Emphysema Through Chest X-Rays And Bronchitis By A Near Constant Productive Cough. I Quit Smoking Cold Turkey And The Coughing Has Abated; But Other Symptoms Persist> Recently I Had An "Attack" Matching Every Symptom Of Status Asthmaticus. I Now Assume I Have Both COPD And Severe Asthma.... Would You Do A Video On Patients That Seem To Have Both Diseases? THANK YOU!!!!
Would have mom with COPD increase my risk I'm 30 smoke and vape for only 5 years and I have cough and mucus each morning I wake up for long time now no shortness of breath tho only little maybe if I run but not notice do daily tasks
I have pulmonary fibrosis from a relatively " mild" dose of covid 19. Yet,my consultant insists its " idiopathetic" as he insists lung scarring only occurs from severe or lifethreatening covid 19. But, a 2022 study indicates the opposite. People can get lung scarring from mild covid also. What's your opinion Doctor. I'm taking esbriet but I believe I should also be on steroids for inflammation.
So many things to discuss here, I will try to make a video in the future
Bravo!!! And, I see you got your ears lowered also... Look's good!
Have you ever known anyone with COPD to reverse almost completely the condition? Or, atleast have significant improvement at the cellular level?
Im living prof i probably have another year till I'm completely healed, has not been an easy journey, im now doing 25 min jogging where before i couldnt get up the stairs i would pass out alot
@@carlapilbro1344 What are your PFTs showing compared to when you where passing out?
