Hi all I have COPD and on oxygen as needed. Respirologist never gave be any #s except to tell me I have 45% lung function. Don't have to much of a problem with SOB unless I'm rushing around which is hard for me not to do...lol I am on symbicort x2, spiriva x1 and ventolin as needed. Seems to keep me pretty good. Well off to Drs appt. good breathing to all.

Hi Barb! Like you I dont have much of a SOB problem either, knock wood. My lung is around 50%. I still work and do what I want most days. I took up walking now for exercise and that helps me too.

I wish I could walk Sue. I'm okay for about a block then I'm very SOB unless I take my oxygen with me. Once the weather gets better I'm going to try to walk each day.
