  • There is now a light weight portable spirometer that empowers people with COPD to monitor their lung function at home and in between office visits. Spiro PD can alert you of a decline in lung function before you feel symptoms. It also allows you to track your triggers and view your trends over the last day, week, month or year. This helps prevent exacerbations from occurring and provides insight into your lung health to help you maintain a healthy life.

  • one of my dear friends from America just got Diagnosed with COPD :(

  • They keep mentioning cigarette but no1 says that you can get from cold too. I have bronchitis and never smoke in my life but remember how i got it first time. In summer day I ran from outside to the refrigerator and started breathing from there relaxing and enjoying the cool air. That's the time I got it no smoking..

  • Im a nursing student in my second semester and I really appreciated this video!!! It helped me distinguish between the two disorders but also see how they are combined into one general one. Thank you so much!!

  • The Buteyko Method is an effective drug free treatment for COPD. Buteyko Center USA teaches students how to normalize breathing and reduce COPD symptoms. This technique has no side effects, visit Buteyko Center USA's website to take a free breathing test and read testimonials written by students who have improved their health tremendously with Buteyko breathing. Contact us to learn more at 1-800-520-3450, breathe gently!

  • My mother died from this one month and one day ago. Painful death-the coroner told me she purged up blood when she died..

  • @TheKjward treatment is directed towards the symptoms rather than the damage itself. Which is more than I can say for many other "chronic" diseases.
