Have you been getting lightheaded or always feel tired. Quit smoking as well and sometimes I've felt pain moving up towards my head. Sadly I've been waiting for my first appointment and whenever I call they say they'll call back.
Thank you for this broken down explanation. My husband was just diagnosed with Emphysema and obviously I'm concerned. Knowledge is the only way to beat fear so this helps me a lot.

Thank you so much for your fabulous teaching! I have never seen anyone teach like you. God bless🙏
I'm a newly qualified nurse in the UK (7 months in) and I'm constantly coming home to read up on situations that I need to understand more. Thank you so much for your videos. Even my tired mind gets it! You're a very gifted teacher. Of course, it goes without saying that I'm a new SUBBIE!!

Fill My Cup do all nurses do this? Because I find it a little bit scary that nurses in the UK don't understand their patients ailments. Anyone can watch a you tube video and diagnose themselves. People go to hospital to seek professional help by people who you would hope they knew what they were doing. Not hating, your comment just scares me a bit!
Great explanation Dr Seheult, so glad I continued watching. I was about to close it down after seeing the screen written words, ALTHOUGH, hearing your tone and slow, clear descriptions and explanations, I appreciate your time in doing this clip.
Gratitude for this information. It’s been 3 years I’ve been diagnosed with COPD.
Probably the clearest explanation so far, thank you
Your video really helped me to understand COPD and especially spirometry better! Thank you so much! :)
This is BY FAR the BEST explanation of COPD I’ve ever seen! Thank you!!!! I’m studying the respiratory system right now in A&P 2 and this is very germane to me at the moment. Subscribed!!!

I had no idea my COPD was the same as emphysema. Sounds like things are going to get horrible. What really sucks is that I only had to smoke about 6 mos and I was diagnosed with it. As soon as I started smoking, I developed a steady cough & coughing up stuff. Even if I had quit, it wouldn't have helped. So unfair. I don't smoke now....but it's TOO LATE!!! I don't want to die suffocating. Why can't they come up with better treatments to help get the air out?
Clear and concise, as usual. Thanks, keep these vids coming.

My 48 yr old daughter is struggling with breathing issues. She struggles with GERD and possible acid reflux into her lung. Her apt has flooded several times with mold issues. It seems logical to me that acid reflux, and chronic mold exposure would promote the development of COPD.
My mother died at 46 with this, she had shortness of breath and lost loads of weight, no cough, she got this at 36 but they didn't know what it was until she was 39, that was 42 years ago. A awful disease and affected us all in the family.
Thanks a great review!!! Easy to understand and brief!!!
Thank you for these awesome videos Doctor!
Well articulated and simplified ..Thanks
Speaking about the “cost” of this disease being 50 billion dollars.... I must wonder what that horrible amount might be reduced by if big pharma (& their billion dollar profits) were to charge less than (the approximate) $300 to $400 PER inhaler? The exception to that high-dollar inhaler cost is the Proventil Inhaler which is about $76. The explanation of COPD in this video is very helpful & well explained.
WOW DOCTOR. i am so impressed with your explanations that everyone can understand.

thank you!!! it's help me a lot for my presentation
I have never smoked nor had my mother or her sister. I hate that judgement so much. I am an RN but your explanation of the spirometry was helpful to me. I am retired and luckily my severe sob did not start until 3 yrs ago. I was always coughing and sob with exertion but pretty normal. It just took a turn for the worse and can find no specific reason. I spent 18 months of test and more test and specialist. I am just learning to live with the restrictions. The saddest is I can no longer travel in comfort. I am 70 by the way.

Never ignore the nutritional aspect of this. All things equal, gut health, and avoiding inflammatory foods including Lectins and Sugar can make a significant and very positive difference. Even minor changes in diet like cutting out grains, soda, sugar, etc., can have a huge positive impact. Doctors are not quick to address this and it is a disservice. I am not suggesting diet will cure COPD but it can definitely help. Whenever a person has pain, they have inflammation.

I just wanted to thank you for your informative videos, MedCram (love that name... reminds me of how my friend used to "cram" for his finals). In this world of so much bogus information, your straightforward podcasts are like a breath of fresh air, completely without hype or "network news reporting." Incidentally, I'm a big proponent of using mega doses of vita C to boost the human immune system, especially "Liposomal Vitamin C" in the liquid form, proven to be ten times more potent and biologically available, especially with critically ill patients. Maybe you'd care to do a story on the subject? Good luck in all that you do sir, and thanks again.
Thank you, Dr. Seheult!

Use Tiffenau index, fev1: static vital capacity(not forced), it is corrected by age. Using 0,7 as threshold you overstate an obstruction in elderly people and understate in young people. Anyway good explanation

Please remember that many ppl that have COPD never smoked. I grew up with a chemical plant in my back yard. Literally n it hurt to breathe the yellow air in the hot summers. Since moving to Houston Tx I was diagnosed with COPD. They have terrible air here as well. Developed many allergies also.

Hey MedCram, Great video. Just wanted to point out that Emphysema, as described in the GOLD Guidelines, is only one of several structural abnormalities present in patients with COPD (Chapter 1, Paragraph 3), but it seems that in this video you use the terms interchangeably.

I've been coughing a lot and bringing up mucus. My dr mentioned COPD, but other than using inhalers, has not recommended anything. I've had problems with lung issues since I was young. I saw an allergist, and he tested me for allergies, and found that I did have some issues. I changed my diet, by taking out dairy, and other things. However, at certain times of the year I have flair ups. I've had a lung xray which showed clear lungs. I've had bronchitis, pneumonia over the years too. Should I press my Dr for more tests to determine if it is COPD?
Clear. Ty doctor
