Hi I went to my doctor again this is the third time I have seen him,I have this cough and wizzing coghing up this green stuff,he had told me it was bronchitis but now seems to think it may be asthma of some kind and put me on another dose of antibiotic just in case. He also had me take a breath test spiramthy I think its called I think I failed that it says MILD RESTRICTION
IS THAT BAD?? IF IT IS COULD IT BE FROM THIS CONGESTION I HAVE?
i SAT iN THE DOCTORS OFFICE FOR TWO HOURS WAITING TURNS OUT IF I DID NOT SAY SOMETHING THEY HAD MISPLACED MY FILE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CALLED they were very sorry doctor said never to wait more than twenty minute that i should start complaining.

Hi, Yes you could have a restriction from being overweight. I don't see anywhere on your test results for TLC or DLCO. They would help. Here is a web site with lots of helpful people, and if you ask this question there Im sure you will get lots of answers all in the same day. Keep checking back here for the dr. answers too, because they are very helpful and great. Please check this site out and post here also. http://www.copd-international.com/COPD/forum.htm
