Im 53 and started smoking when I was 13, and im man enough to admit im an idiot and was diagnosed with COPD a week ago after spending 6 days in the ICU and having 2 large blood clots removed from my lungs through a groin procedure. Now I have 2 different inhalers and will be on blood thinners for the rest of my life. All this info / advice is incredible and awesome…THANK YOU!
Hi, I'm 69 and have had COPD for 9 years now. Diagnosed 2 years after i gave up smoking. IF you follow all the advice above, especially about smoking, diet and exercise, you're life will definitely improve. The disease does get worse but you can slow the progress down a lot.
@@carltaylor4942 That’s such a relief to hear. I definitely will follow the advice. Thank you so much for sharing and for the encouraging words. I wish you the best. Thanks again! You made my night! 👍🏼
@@DamageLLC - Heartfelt best wishes to you. Don't give in.
@@carltaylor4942 Yes sir! I will not give up! Thanks again!
I have got copd stagr 2 so i stopped smoking now for 10 weeks.
Feeling so much better & i do breathing exercises most days.
Thank you very much
Thank you!
Thank you for this useful list. I'm 69 and I've had COPD for 9 years. Coping quite well as I exercise, don't smoke and eat well. I will start washing my bed linen more often after watching this. Also going to see the doctor about possible supplements...
Thanks very much for some great tips. xx
Very many thanks indeed
Great video. Thank you
Thank you. Great advice! Can people please remind me to rewatch this video multiple times.
Watch this video multiple times
@@leeblunden3878 thank you so much ❤
Watch this video again
Watch it at the same time every day, you owe it to yourself. Also, lookout for the Pulmonary Rehab videos, they’ll do do the world of good.
It's time you watched the video again, Vanessa! 😃
The smoke from the wildfires in Canada are really causing bad flare ups anyone else having this problem? Been hospitalized because of it !
I'm so sorry. I'm fortunate I don't live in any of the affected areas/countries but can imagine how difficult this must be. Just my neighbours having bonfires can trigger mine and makes breathing with copd much harder so this huge event must be terrible for those already struggling. Hope you're feeling better.
YES!!, been exposed to the smoke from the Canada wildfires back in July. Went to the emergency room in August due to constant flare ups. It's know nearing the end of November and still having issues with flare-ups!! Having alot of fatigue due to this condition as well. Hope you feel better soon!🙏 as I hope to as well!🙏
@@wendywolfert7380 I was in the ccu in September because of it ! Hopefully we'll get relief soon praying for you 🙏

Very you ma'am, very informative.
You are very positive. I need that. I don’t feel much hope.
I’ve been trying so hard to do more, it wears me out & I don’t see myself making any progress. Hard to stay positive about it.
Satya Mevo Jayete. Thank you dear. OM🙏
Also intermittent fasting
Have you improve with IF ?
I will be doing stem cell therapy.
Why do these types of video's always show fit and healthy people doing all the things advised? Really annoys me. Why not show what the reality is for people with COPD.
I totally agree, I would love to vacuum all the dust off of my house, I would love to be able to take all my sheets and blankets to the basement and wash them and carry them back upstairs, I understand she means well, for people with severe COPD, all of these chores are very difficult if not impossible, I do thank her for letting us know what triggers are COPD, of course I already knew all of this
Yeah like going around with your oxygen bottle
Hello, helpful video, but you should not be encouraging people to eat 'Whole Grains' which recent research has shown to be inflammatory to the body, and should be avoided.
I recently gave up bread and cereals. I started eating muesli for breakfast and wholemeal bread with meals years ago. Recent evidence shows this is, indeed, inflammatory. I simply replaced wholemeal bread with homemade lentil bread and muesli with homemade chickpea flour flatbread. Recipes are everywhere on the Internet. Bonus was I lost almost all my belly fat in a couple of weeks! Both items are very easy to make. If I can do it, anyone can.
Sorry to say haveing jabs wont help any one with c.o.p.d as i no been there
Hope u not mind me asking how far r u with copd nd how old r u
How can you say that? If the vaccinations protect you from the damage flu and/or pneumonia cause on top of COPD then they are worth having. I totally disagree with you. I have had all my flu jabs and 2 pneumonia jabs in the 9 years I've had COPD and have not had any problems at all with either infection. I've had a few lung infections but that's all.
Some comforting advice.
But at what point u wont be able because of the emphysema I tried rehab but do to a ride there i wasn't able to keep it up I keep trying the purse breathing exercises I think I'm going down hill faster imuse a chair ❤now to get around better I need tje reduction surgery ifvvalvws dont work wontbknow til March gotbto redo ct 6;mm rml

I also have COPD coughing is my main problem with mucus hard to move I have meds of respetery nurse but seems in the throat won't budge that much I was told need drain but we patients don't get info like I found uto day keep us with this disease informed great news for us all who suffer many thanks to all of u
These tips are absolutely ridiculous! I like people that can breathe normally, telling people that can't, to ride bikes climb mountains, take long walks in the evening when it's damp out and exercise, let alone to push a vacuum around daily, when most of the time it's hard enough to take five steps without stopping to get your breath back no matter how hard you try. I tell people like this woman, to run to the end of a parking lot full speed, then run back full speed, now you do the stuff your telling me to do while breathing through a straw now, let's see how much of your advice you can accomplish. I bet it wouldn't be very much at all. They will never get it, until they experience it themselves. 👎
Your comments are spot on!
No one can tell you how to feel better if you have copd unless they have actually experienced it themselves. There is no cure and dying is your only option. Slowly 😢
I feel that. Post diagnosis the depression was crazy the anxiety and panic attacks were constant. The best thing for me has been to get informed. Quit smoking. I'm having problems with dysphagia and its scarry as hell. Nothing is better but it can be managed better. We are dying and we know how we will die barring a accident or catastrophic illness. But we can manage with others like us we can be supportive. Idk I'm rambling but I feel that. I can't stand someone saying just stop and relax..... I can't relax I can't breathe out and when it's bad it's horrifying. When they compare their asthma or their other minor illness it just makes me so angry. Like only people who are living this nightmare are going to get it.
Maybe you should just keep thoughts like that to yourself. NOT helpful to anyone to hear such negative crap.
@@111josie1 - I totally agree, Josie. Yes, it's hard to deal with the fact that you have an incurable, terminal disease but I know for a fact that following all the advice given here can really slow down the diseases progress. A lot. Can't stress how important it is to stop smoking, exercise, eat well and avoid all irritants like the plague. It's a hard road to travel and it takes determination but it can be done.
@@SuperDaddyruss son your saying asthma is a minor illness wow I've had asthma all my life I've been in and out of hospital all my life I've nearly died because of asthma attacks been in hospital weeks.on end with asthma I've now just been diagnosed with COPD don't you ever think asthma is a minor illness because you are wrong and things this woman is saying is right people can help themselves am doing everything i can to keep healthy it's not hard some people just can't arsed and just give up.an.seem one of them your pathetic
VACCINE .....no
