Does anybody else experience burning in the lungs? My wife has started complaining that her lungs feel like they are on fire. She has both chronic bronchitis and emphysema COPD.

let us no what the doctor says , tell her we all hope she feels better soon , but i would not be worried about calling the doctor, some people worry i know in case thay are wasting doctors time , call them just to put her mind at rest. its very true about lungs being pain free ,

Got her to the lung doctor. She has some fluid in her lungs but no pnuemonia. He thinks she is getting a viral infection, so he wants to wait to start antibiotics. He said the burning sensation was due to bronchial inflammation.

Oh Donk, I am so glad you took her to the doc. That was what I was afraid of...infection or fluid in the lungs. Well, I'm sure you caught it quick enough to get her quickly back on track. Give her our love and well wishes, from all of us at DS. (and to you also) Take care! JoAnn
