    • Close COPD & Emphysema

      I used to go running every evening,play tennis,walk miles across the cliffs with my 2 border collies.I went to aerobics twice a week and liked to dance.Then,following the break up of my marriage,my parents,whom I was close to dying and my children leaving to go to uni,I had a brain haemorrhage,The anaesthetic plus me having smoked left me with breathing problems.I lost both of my dogs too because I had to give them away as I couldn't walk them.Now,I get very quickly breathless.

      Treatments

      Albuterol Working / Worked
      It definitely works when I am out of breath which is what it's for.I don't appear to have any side effects
      Spiriva Somewhat Helpful
      It's inclined to make me cough.I take it in the morning and then have a bit of a cough which leads to a few sneezes.Other that that,I don't get any other side effects.
