Im Vlado from Croatia,53 years old.Breathing problems since childhood
Since 1993 I have been regularly visited by a pulmonologist .Im.non-smoker ,sportsmen
And i have survived one big and long inflammation .
February 1994: My best spirometry result. FVC 107% FEV1 88%
august 1995 my FEV1 was only14.7%, at age 30
18 months under supervision of pulmonologist including 2 months stay in hospital, my FEV1 dropped from 88% to 15%. Unbelievable 73% drop
Sounds unbelievably but today i know that 04.09.1995 was day of my salvation.
I have been sent to tooth surgery and the day after tooth surgery I started to feel better ..Today my FEV1 is 29% .In the time that i became sick it was no internet time,my doctors didnt tell me nothing about copd just :" This is nothing serious, it’s just your old disease and don’t worry you’re young and we’ll do everything possible to help you." What i am doing now and its most helpfull therapy for me?
1.Postural drainage to clean my airways
Im not on O2
therapy: spiriva1 ,seretide 500 2x
In the moment 6 days with fever are behind me but still a have lot of wheezing and that it worries me.Can someone give me some good advice to help me.
Many thanks for answers
Vlado
