    • Close COPD & Emphysema

      To gain information and what my limitations are and what I can expect from myelf from hard work exercise and medication

      Treatments

      Albuterol Working / Worked
      am 67 not on oxygen. apend a lot of time at the fitness center walking on treadmill, track and weights. the treadmill gets me breathing very deep,as well as raises the heart rate and helps me maintain a 94 pulse oxcimetry. when I try to do pushups or jog on the track.I get very winded and breathe like a fish out of water. I work hard to control, slow down my breathing which takes about 20 or 3o secs to get back to normal. I know what causes these moments, so I dont let them get out of control.
      Spiriva Working / Worked
      Overall, the biggest help i get is from contioious exercise that really gets me to breathing deap and to do so for as long as I can then drink some cold water and relax for a while
