    Hard as it is Mandy try and realx.... try no to worry, worry can make things worse ... 

    Not sure about the soaps Morgan, I not watched TV for 15 years or more ... cheesygrin

    but Mandy relax, put your feet up .. tell Hubby Morgan and me said he's to go get you a nice box of chocs ... smile ... If chest infection don't clear it may be wise to ask for some prednisolone... they are really good for getting rid of persistant chest infections .. 

    Leave all the housework/cooking etc .. let hubby take charge and sit back and eat those chocolates ... if you do social media and are on facebook ... add me as a friend .. Wendy egg fried Rice . Take care smile x

    No Mandy....you're ok sweetie.  I have severe COPD and i have learned that I can live a long time as long as I take my meds and don't exert too much...and use my oxygen as needed. You don't need any of those things so far and so you are gonna be ok. You need to reed all the postings from folks in here and Google it....you'll learn so much. How old are you? I'm sure your Dr is gonna prescribe you some kind of inhaler or pill that will help keep your lungs open and that's probably it. However, I'm not a Dr so I can't promise you anything.  Take a deep breath and count to 10...if u can..lol...it st gonna be ok sweetie. Now eat something and get some rest....then research it. There are Sooo many levels of COPD. Holla at me anytime....ladyjack51
