Hi Everyone
I've been suffering from shortness of breath for the past few days, 6 weeks ago I was told by my g.p that i'm showing the early signs of c.o.p.d (i'm 31yrs old) I stopped smoking straight away, i was off the ciggies for 1 month feeling great and missed an appointment at the chemist for my patches and was told I'd have to wait a couple weeks until I could restart the program which I have done today my carbon monoxide reading was 4 that of a non smoker to the pharmacist's surprise which I was pleased with because I've only been having the odd cigarette, but today i've started the patches back up.
I'm stuck in this constant worry about the shortness of breath because how am i to determine whether or not it's the anxiety or i've reached a stage this is what's worrying me :unsure: (still awaiting spirometry test) and hoping for an FV1 reading.
Recently I've noticed my posture is poor sitting like a half shut knife at the edge of the sofa I try my best to stay up right but this is the way I sit when my nerves are getting the better of me...
As you can see from this thread my head is all over the place atm is it this...is it that... hope it ain't...etc
Please help put my mind at ease you lovely ppl :bighug1:
