This video should be an absolute must watch for anyone newly diagnosed. It clears up a lot of confusion and would have saved me years of being uninformed about my disease. BTW, it could be updated with the newer medications that are available. It's great as is, though.

Hyperinflation makes the apical impulse of the left ventricle difficult to palplate. However verticalized the heart might be, the apex of the left ventricle cannot reach the median line so as to become palpable in the subxiphoid region. What is felt in the subxiphoid region in patients with COPD is the dilated and hypertrophied right ventricle. Consequently the pulsations felt in the subxiphoid region in COPD patients are the consequence of a dilated a hypertrophied RV, not of a verticalized LV.
Symptoms are what the disease presents as, what's happening to the person. The exacerbations are the possible worsening of the symptoms in time, and how and why things get from bad to worse in their manifestation and intensity
I like your series about shock. Is it possible for you to make another video about 'low energy state' ? Because I rarely saw in depth video about this particular problem Thank you & have a great year
hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about symptoms of asthma try Knewreck Asthma Eradicator Guide (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
I told my Dr I had a bit of shortness of breath when exercising and coughing and Dr put me on asthma controller. I didn’t believe his diagnosis as I never had asthma before and no family history, I decided to do extensive tests, cardiology and Pulmonology. Cardiology tests were normal under a stress test and I have no high blood pressure. Spirometry tests were within normal ranges as well with normal DLCO ranges. Should I get a second opinion from another Dr to get off my Medications? I don’t feel the medication helps it actually gave me a nagging cough along with mucus. Now, I am overweight but not obese. My shortness of breath started after covid infection. My chest x-ray came back with no abnormal indications of any kind.
I'm sorry, but I can't offer specific, individualized medical advice here. However, if you feel unconvinced by a diagnosis you've been given by a physician, and if they have prescribed a medication which you feel is not helping, getting a second opinion from another physician IRL is never a bad idea.
+Wahiba ramtani I've been working on recruiting a heme/onc specialist to help with some topics. Hopefully, it will work out, and will be sure that anemia is included early on!
Can lower mef like 4 represent copd? Fevs are normal. I also have hyperinflation, discret fibrotic changes after covid and asthma alergic before covid. Ex smoker. My doc says it may be emfizema also but it s not showing on my x rays or ct scan. After covid i have constrictions on right lung i use fostair. I am crashed...and dyspnea and now i am adicted to inhalers otherwise can t breath.
I cannot provide specific, individualized medical advice here. However, I can say this: Peak flows should never be interpreted in isolation, as they depend upon age, gender, and height; and they should also be interpreted with knowledge of the patient's medical history and baseline peak flow.

No. There is neither evidence nor plausible mechanism by which colloidal silver would be helpful in COPD. Given its known toxicities, I strongly advise patients to refrain from using it.
No. Asthma and COPD have overlapping symptoms and treatment, but they have different risk factors/epidemiology, and different pathophysiology. They can co-exist, but are distinct diseases.

Thank you, you organize my confusing this topic from last 2 years in a short period, well done😊
Absolutely fantastic video! Very clear, love the tables. One of my favorite RUclips channels for MED school!
Thanks, Dr Eric, you have explained every step very well, and have made the dry subject very interesting, Thank you
Thanks, Dr Eric! Very informative and concise
The best explanation l have ever seen about this topic. Thanks thanks very much
Well explained

Now I've got confident to do correct diagnosis about it coz it was really confusing . Thank you .
Great video !! And with my upcoming exam a great way to start the study-session !!

Dorin Dragoş could you link me an article to prove this?
Awesomely informative and perfectly explained! Thank you so much! 😊😊 15/9/2019
Thank you very much Dr Strong.
Excellent for review ❤
Hi doc, could you please explain the difference between symptoms and exacerbation?
Symptoms are what the disease presents as, what's happening to the person. The exacerbations are the possible worsening of the symptoms in time, and how and why things get from bad to worse in their manifestation and intensity
Super; thank you so much

+TheVitade Possibly. Can you be more specific by what you mean by "low energy state"?
Thank You so Much!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Amazing
excellent!

that's a great job, thank youwould you please give us a lecture about anemia?

Sadly, still working on it...

great presentation
I'm blowing 180-200 on the breathe-o-meter and having further breathing tests on Friday is 180-200 bad?

Can colloidal silver be helpful to treat copd ?
No. There is neither evidence nor plausible mechanism by which colloidal silver would be helpful in COPD. Given its known toxicities, I strongly advise patients to refrain from using it.
Fucking better than my university professor 👩🏫
🌺🌹
Never use Corticosteroids for long time !!
You guys are awesome, but please change that piano music at the start of each video...
Isn't asthma part of copd? 🤔
No. Asthma and COPD have overlapping symptoms and treatment, but they have different risk factors/epidemiology, and different pathophysiology. They can co-exist, but are distinct diseases.
thank you Dr strong is it possible to teach the topic pulmonary embolism
