I'm 59 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 59 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of total cure herbal foundation my husband bought, please email dr for your cure on ovie.miraclemedicine1@gmail.com he treat PD too has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and cure you totally with their natural organic herbs,it class products at affordable prices.

My brother was suffering from Pneumonia from 2-3 months. He took so many treatments for it but symptoms did not resolve. Finally, thought of trying Ayurveda, came to Planet Ayurveda, met Dr. Vikram. Dr. prescribed him with COPD care pack. He is still taking these medicines and has much improvement now.
It's all well and good to just say give up smoking. giving up smoking really it's very hard to give up smoking once you have been smoking for a very long time just saying what a lot of people want to say. I was told I have an 80 year old pair of lungs and I'm 37 I have savear asthma three pumps which really don't help sometimes my dad past away of copd and it still didn't put me off smoking shocking I will end up getting copd I'm sure who knows we all die at some point 😏
