Cheers for that, nope, I didn't know what it stood for either.

I have now edited the title of the thread.

Clock.....not ticking quite so fast at the moment!

Sorry to hear that! I don't know much about COPD, but I always associated it with the elderly. It doesn't seem right for an active person to get it.

I'd definitely see a specialist.

It does seem an unusual diagnosis for an active person. (and I didn't know it could come on suddenly like that)

What's your white blood cell count?

Can you see a specialist?

Don't know about white blood cell count, I am due to go back in 4 weeks to see how things are, I will discuss this with the Doctor then.

do you smoke or used to smoke?

[indigoiis]

I was going to say, it's generally a "smoker's illness."

[silver]

i don't know much about it. my FIL has it. He used to smoke 3 packs a day. I think I remember them telling me that anyone who was a big smoker will show some signs of COPD. I don't think that it means that you can't ride. I don't think that riding will make it worse.

I cannot remember the name of the inhaler/puffer that was used for this. But that is what was prescribed.

I'm sorry that you are dealing with this.

If not smoking could also be associated with employment conditions or heavy pollution.
