      Have you been getting lightheaded or always feel tired. Quit smoking as well and sometimes I've felt pain moving up towards my head. Sadly I've been waiting for my first appointment and whenever I call they say they'll call back.

    My 48 yr old daughter is struggling with breathing issues.
    She struggles with GERD and possible acid reflux into her lung.
    Her apt has flooded several times with mold issues.
    It seems logical to me that acid reflux, and chronic mold exposure would promote the development of COPD.

    Speaking about the “cost” of this disease being 50 billion dollars.... I must wonder what that horrible amount might be reduced by if big pharma (& their billion dollar profits) were to charge less than (the approximate) $300 to $400 PER inhaler? The exception to that high-dollar inhaler cost is the Proventil Inhaler which is about $76. The explanation of COPD in this video is very helpful & well explained.

  • @heatherw.671
    @heatherw.671 Před 4 lety +30

    I had no idea my COPD was the same as emphysema. Sounds like things are going to get horrible. What really sucks is that I only had to smoke about 6 mos and I was diagnosed with it. As soon as I started smoking, I developed a steady cough & coughing up stuff. Even if I had quit, it wouldn't have helped. So unfair. I don't smoke now....but it's TOO LATE!!! I don't want to die suffocating. Why can't they come up with better treatments to help get the air out?

    I have never smoked nor had my mother or her sister. I hate that judgement so much. I am an RN but your explanation of the spirometry was helpful to me. I am retired and luckily my severe sob did not start until 3 yrs ago. I was always coughing and sob with exertion but pretty normal. It just took a turn for the worse and can find no specific reason. I spent 18 months of test and more test and specialist. I am just learning to live with the restrictions. The saddest is I can no longer travel in comfort. I am 70 by the way.

      Fill My Cup do all nurses do this? Because I find it a little bit scary that nurses in the UK don't understand their patients ailments. Anyone can watch a you tube video and diagnose themselves. People go to hospital to seek professional help by people who you would hope they knew what they were doing. Not hating, your comment just scares me a bit!

    My mother died at 46 with this, she had shortness of breath and lost loads of weight, no cough, she got this at 36 but they didn't know what it was until she was 39, that was 42 years ago. A awful disease and affected us all in the family.

    Never ignore the nutritional aspect of this. All things equal, gut health, and avoiding inflammatory foods including Lectins and Sugar can make a significant and very positive difference. Even minor changes in diet like cutting out grains, soda, sugar, etc., can have a huge positive impact. Doctors are not quick to address this and it is a disservice. I am not suggesting diet will cure COPD but it can definitely help. Whenever a person has pain, they have inflammation.

    I just wanted to thank you for your informative videos, MedCram (love that name... reminds me of how my friend used to "cram" for his finals). In this world of so much bogus information, your straightforward podcasts are like a breath of fresh air, completely without hype or "network news reporting." Incidentally, I'm a big proponent of using mega doses of vita C to boost the human immune system, especially "Liposomal Vitamin C" in the liquid form, proven to be ten times more potent and biologically available, especially with critically ill patients. Maybe you'd care to do a story on the subject? Good luck in all that you do sir, and thanks again.

    • @tedjay1312
      @tedjay1312 Před 4 lety

      Chemicals used on the plants that are fed to animals in huge quantities (animals eat more than humans) and then concentrated in their flesh that humans then eat. It's a good case for plant based eating instead of animals.

      It starts with Glyphosate “ready” Crops. Genetic engineered Plants.
      Then - Glyphosate is Sprayed on Entire Fields.
      Next - we and our animals are Fed these Crops.
      This doesn’t include animal DNA 🧬 and AntiBiotics added to crops + livestock/poultry.

    I've been coughing a lot and bringing up mucus. My dr mentioned COPD, but other than using inhalers, has not recommended anything. I've had problems with lung issues since I was young. I saw an allergist, and he tested me for allergies, and found that I did have some issues. I changed my diet, by taking out dairy, and other things. However, at certain times of the year I have flair ups. I've had a lung xray which showed clear lungs. I've had bronchitis, pneumonia over the years too. Should I press my Dr for more tests to determine if it is COPD?

    How does COPD differentiate itself from asthma? Is it fair to ask which disease is worse or easier to control or treat?

    What about people like FireFighters, who suffer a burn to their lungs? Is there a different name for that? Are there different symptoms and treatments?

      Right. I suggest the next video you do you use a presentation method where the viewers don't have to wait for you to write it out. Surely there is, but I'm not privy to methods of presentation such as these.

    C.O.P.D. is a catchall it seems for several lung diseases. I have an emphysema diagnosis but think the hyperinflation is a result of my extreme childhood asthma, which it seems to me would cause a chronic state of hyperinflation. The doctor took a modern scan of my lungs and assured me, after a bout with viral pneumonia in 2009, that emphysema was present, though I couldn't see it in the scan when he pointed to it. Good for a disability anyway!

    Why is COPD increasing when smoking rates are falling quite dramatically? People living longer?

    I had fluid removed from my chest cavity 2 years ago and spent 20 days in the hospital. When I was released I was told I had emphysema and pneumonia but never was offered any kind of follow up treatment. I'm really starting to have trouble with my breathing again. I never smoked and have no idea why I have this. Is there anything I can do that will help me with my breathing besides another hospital stay and chest tubes? Ty so much
