COPD Exacerbations - Treatment with antibiotics

COPD Exacerbations - Treatment with antibiotics

[kallachnadra]

I live in Norway. I suffer from COPD (never smoked) and Heart Failure. ( 75 yrs old)
All I can understand now, is that doctors in norway just neglected me. I cant remember ever being tested in details as described in this video.

This has helped me so much with understanding the illness my Mum suffers from and the logic behind the workup the general practitioner follows in his course of treatment. Thank you for sharing this. It is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, very clear and precise information. A bit too fast for me because of my age, will listen to you again and again, you are the only one that I can find that covers everything.

Im glad I found your video. My pulmonologist is not updated on new information or treatments. I was diagnosed around 40. Im on oxygen. My doctor says I should be dead by now. Im 48. Yeah, he said that! I find anxiety makes breathing worse. I had broken heart syndrome when my mother died. Then they sent me home on oxygen, saying I have COPD. I dont believe I had it but now I cannot go without oxygen. I hate living with this. My doctor only sees me every 6 months. He doesn't do anything. I tell him of new treatments. Like I told him about Trelegy. I worked woth chemicals in a factory. I looking for better treatments.

My best friend was hospitalized with severe asthma. She had been diagnosed and treated for COPD for the last year. A local pulmonologist came in and told her that she experienced all the symptoms on VOCAL CORD DYSFUNCTION - which many doctors misdiagnose as asthma. This guy sounded nuts. He told me she does not have asthma or COPD. She’s been a severe asthmatic since childhood and has been hospitalized too many times to count. She has had to be intubated 7 times in the last 15 years. This pulmonologist said that she should never be intubated again! They’ve only done this because she would have died from lack of oxygen to her brain. Her O2 sats had been below 80%. Dr. Fazakas is so right on and provides a fountain of great information. I wish he was here in Southern California!

Thanks, you give me a great understanding of many different conditions, I've had a trial of 18 months with every test you are explaining I asked for an antibiotic for over a year, if I was given one I believe it wouldn't of taken over a year to get better, reason I was not given an antibiotic was I had high blood pressure and all focus was on the medications to lower BP when I mentioned I feel like I have a bacterial infection, I have dealt with lung infections, mainly bronkitis, I know my body from past lung infections, an antibiotic should of been given to me as it was in past when I couldn't kick an infection out of my system (I needed antibiotics, I know my own body, ) it was a long drawn out period that I truly believe could of been resolved sooner as to later, my condition was atrial fibrillation and heart failure, I had the vaccine pnumococial pmumonia after multiple times being in the hospital before the vaccine was given, I had felt better after two years of meds for blood pressure that made me feel 100percent worst, until I got rid of lung infection, listen to the patient as well as helping him with treatment given . Your well explained video is all that I have been thru for almost 2years we deserve better as patients , vaccine ., pnumococial pmumonia, I believe is what fixed me as well as the medicine lasiks, that is needed for my situation your explaining all this to me now 🤗 great video, you are helping many to understand, great job. If it was you that was my doctor I would of got treated more promptly . Mentioning an antibiotic I got, it's not good you can get liver damage, or it's for acne, really I got over kronkitis with them, ended up in the hospital without them, get a pnumococial pmumonia vaccine it is the antibiotic from what I see now.

I have come back to this video many times.

Thanks docter for giving idea about copd lab checks

Dr is advertizing also for vaccines. Not good and not necessary as well. Walking, exercice, meditation, human ethics of giving and forgiving and love, meditation work wonders for all illnesses.
