I smoked for 8 years about 15 per day. I have now quit and feel great and am really getting into heavy cardio work. Is it possible to clear my lungs of all the cr#p and how long roughly would it take?

If you quit smoking will your lungs ever return to how they where before you smoked?

Im 21 years old and have been smoking since i was 14. I have just recently quit and am wondering if my lungs will ever get back to the same health as someone who has never smoked or will they just get better but never 100% ?

How long can you live with COPD?

My husband is 43 yrs old and has had COPD for the last 4 or 5 yrs. His estimated age of lungs is 126 yrs. He’s still smoking. How long can he live with that?
My husband has got COPD and he wont quit those damn cigarettes!
He’s got the estimated lung age of 126 yrs, he’s on advair but not on oxygen yet. He’s 43 yrs old, and has had COPD for about 4 yrs. How long do you think he could live?

If someone with COPD and CHF has constant relux, what does it mean?

Family member has both COPD and CHF, and for couple of months now has had increased reflux the minute she puts head down on pillow. It’s not necessarily acid, but it’s like most liquid of what ever it’s eaten just goes up, sometimes accompanied by tiny pieces of food. We avoid for her going straight to sleep right after dinner, afraid fluids may go to lungs, but seldom does she want to wait half hour before going to sleep or at least lying down.

She’s been only treated for those two diseases but I recall reading about her abdominal aorta in the medical records we got from hospital after one of her stays. Her home visiting doctor got a copy as well_aside from the one he got from us_and unfortunately mine has been put away in boxes and would take a while before I find it. I never asked any of her doctors about it, since they did not talk about it either. I’m planning on asking about it and letting them know about this reflux on Monday. Is it customary in people with her condition?

Can anyone suggest natural therapies for COPD and pseudomonas aeuriginosa of lungs?

I have early stage COPD and suffered with lung infections for about 30 years. I am 56 y.o. female. 4 years ago diagnosed with pseudomonas aeuriginosa of lungs which is drug resistant.

What does chronic pulmonary disease or disorder mean?

Does chronic pulmonary diseases or disorders make people wake up in the middle of the night due to difficulty in breathing? Does this mean that the lungs can’t function anymore, much less about to collapse? Is chronic pulmonary disorder fatal?

lung disease?

I’m doing a research project for school and was looking for a lung disease that maybe fatal.
it can be anything as long as it is non-transmittable and not cancer.

if you have any suggestions on any other disease that does not have to do with the lungs feel free to let me know :)
