Breathing difficulty

If you think that you have any of the symptoms of COPD then we strongly advise you to contact you physician as soon as possible.  Early treatment can be very effective so it is imperative that you get diagnosed (or the possibility of COPD excluded) as fast as you can.

So what exactly is COPD?

COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.  In fact, it is a bit of an umbrella terms for a number of health conditions affecting the lungs.  Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are the primary types but some physicians also include chronic (irreversible) asthma and bronchiectasis. COPD is defined by the Gold Report on COPD as persistently poor air flow to the lungs which in turn is caused by a breakdown of the lung tissue.

The World Health Authority estimates that COPD is the 6th highest cause of death on the globe.  It may also increase with the rise in air pollution (tobacco smoke and car fumes for example) and longer life expectancies.

The most common symptoms of COPD are:-

a)      Breathlessness when moving or taking exercise

b)      Constant cough

c)       Regular production of mucus

d)      Regular chest infections

e)      Constant wheezing

One of the main causes of COPD is smoking tobacco and breathing other types of air pollution.  If you do smoke you will be asked to give up the habit.  For more information please go to https://patienttalk.org/?p=495.    It is worth noting that there is a genetic aspect to COPD as well.

  5. I smoked for thirty years, then over a dozen years ago, I thought I had come down with a very bad case of pneumonia. After my wife nagged me for a week, I finally saw the doctor. I was diagnosed with severe COPD. They were amazed that I had waited so long, years in fact, before going to a doctor over it. They gave me three years tops before it killed me. That was thirteen years ago and I am still living. I don’t do much, because I no longer have the ability. I can no longer walk, am always hooked up to an oxygen air line, and my body is starting to shut down. There are times that I can’t remember my wife’s name, even though we have been married for nearly forty years. Truth be told, there are times that I truly wish I had died years ago when I could still walk, talk, play with my grandkids, but GOD decided that it might be better for me to live a bit longer. My wife asks me, when I am having a bad day, if I want to go to the hospital. I always decline, reminding her that I do not want to die in the hospital, but to die at home with the people that I love most. Hospitals can no longer do anything good for me. Even Duke Hospital admits that they do not know why I am still living. GOD purpose will eventually be known until i found testimonies of Great Dr. Lusanda in an online research and on Facebook, Like anybody would be, I was very skeptical about contacting him, but i later did email him and he started the remedies for my health. Thank God, i am cured from COPD by the herbal medication I received from him. I never thought that COPD can be cured, from the bottom of my heart I’m truly grateful,i pray you have long life so you can help many more people on earth with your herbal medical support.
