I am 67 years old. I smoked about 41 years so I am stage 4 copd with emphysema. I was on life support 8 years ago. I quit smoking in June of 2008 and was put on life support on December 10th of 2014. After I got off the ventilator on December the 30th, I went home and then I was put back in the hospital that January and February with Pneumonia. Then I went through 12 weeks of Pulmonary Rehab and after that I joined an adult wellness center to continue Exercising. My breathing went from 23 % in 2015 to 31% in October of 2021, when I had my last Pulmonary Function Test. Exercising is a great benefit for us. And having a lot of Faith in our Creator has been very beneficial as well.

I have copd. I was severely asthmatic young. Nearly died several times. Through many events wett relocated to Hawaii where I soon thrived in the sub tropical environment. I took up fitness and weight lifting. Eventually I became very fit and conquered asthma. Or so I thought. In my late sixties it has resumed morphing into copd. Though I don't anticipate beating this progressive disease I intend to fight it will intense vigor. My lifetime fitness has benefited me in this regard. I workout five times a week and I'm still quite strong. Today, in fact, I squatted 500 pounds for two sets of 16 reps. Other movements were commensurately heavy. I do calisthenics daily and walk when I can. My diet is ~80% healthy. Getting progressively better. I will not succumb without a pitched battle I can assure you all! You can and must do likewise to the extent possible.

Why quadriceps go for atrophy in case of copd?

Why do they think only seniors have COPD? I'm 43 years old and I have COPD. I'll be dieing soon because I can't afford a oxigen machine and I only can get roughly 2 hours of sleep a day. My chest hurts and I can't get a full breath of air when I lay down.
