How Should I Handle Increasing Breathlessness In COPD?
Hi-I have COPD, and have had for a number of years. Recently (during Sept) I experienced a severe loss of breath, and was totally unable to catch up till my boyfriend brought out my oxygen for me. (I ve had a concentrator for yrs but never used it before). Since then, I ve had several more attacks. Each time, I end up sweating bullets. I m wondering why the heavy perspiring?

Hello
As you explain the situation you should repeat the spirometry test and arterial blood gases to be reavulated for your COPD.Probably it might be progressed and the treatment should be evaluated also
