Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD)

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) involves two lung diseases, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, that often coexist. Both diseases cause airflow obstructions and disrupt normal breathing. The quality of life of COPD sufferers decreases with time and quitting smoking is a must in order to improve the odds. No drugs have been found to prevent or reverse the lung damage and decline in its functioning. On this forum, you can find COPD-related topics!

Emphezema and Oxygen Saturation

If your oxygen saturation is 97% 98% and 99% most of the time shouldn't that point to the fact that you don't have Emphezema? How low can your oxygen saturation go before you need to worry? Mary Anne
