      There’s no way to know without having a Pulmonary Function at the Pulmonologist’s office. I’m sorry!

      That is hard to say without knowing a full history. If you’re concerned it’s best to see your doctor.

    I was told My Lungs are Fine. Capacity, Exchange O2 for CO2 is Good ect.
    Is It Possible the Breathing Problems I'm Having are all found in the Bronchial Tubes?
    How Can they Tell if that's All it is? Is This Also Considered COPD???
    I Use a Nebulizer twice a day it's REAL.

      You would need a Complete Pulmonary Function test. If everything looks normal, then asthma can be considered since it’s possible to have good numbers on a PFT if you have asthma. There are many things that cause problems with breathing, including heart condition, so stay on the doctors until you receive a diagnosis.

      Also, most lung problems, if not all, do affect the bronchial tubes.

      @BreatheBetterwithElizabeth is it Possible to have Good Lung Capacity But have inflammation in the Bronchial Tubes???
      It seems that Would Also Be COPD.

      @@fh346yes that’s possible. But COPD is a combination of Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema and it would definitely show up in a Complete Pulmonary Function test.

    Hello doc, ive been doing weed for the past 6 months continually and lately I've been having some trouble in breathing, and whenever I cough I hear this lung vibration thing which is new, is this copd too? After how much smoking does copd develope?

      The only way to diagnose COPD is by having a Complete Pulmonary Function Test. There is not a specific time frame for developing COPD. Everyone is different.

      Bingo. If you’re having trouble breathing, something serious is occurring and you need medical attention. It would be irresponsible to give specific advice to someone that I haven’t seen.
