Good luck nandina and Joyce2. My emphysema is mild right now. Some days worse than others. I take fluid pills due to heart. Some days the fluid pills seem to make it easier to breathe.

I’m supposed to have tests Thursday and then see doctor the following Thursday for results. I have never smoked nor do I have any relatives with emphysema. Do you have much shortness of breath?
