Answer 1

I was diagnosed with  CO PD about 6 years ago. I use a neb 2x day. The new one is called Brovana and I am fixing to use it once a day and use my Abutoral Am/PM unless I get in trouble with my breathing. Then I'll use it more. The best thing was the oxygen at night. My oxygen level was 98% yesterday. I would advise you to see a specialist for your condition. If I listened to everything the Dr. said I'd be taking a shoebox full of stuff. It is VERY important to keep your body moving. Exercise, work anything, but keep moving. Change your diet to a more healthy one.Give up red meat and get enough fiber. There are good diets on the net. Start with the Asthma Society.  Tune into what your body is telling you. What works for me may not work for you, but I hope I've given you enough info to help. God Bless and good luck.
