Hello,
I am female, 33 years old and my lung problems started 1,5 years ago. I started smoking when I was 16 years old and smoked maybe 5 or 6 a day and then stopped 2 years ago. Before I stopped I vaped for 1 year. From one day to another my lungs felt like they were irritated when I was breathing and I had a dry cough for months. My gp prescribed me a budesonid inhaler and the dry cough got better. I'm still feeling congested in my lungs and a few months ago I developed sticky mucus in my throat. I constantly need to clear my throat. The mucus is clear or white. My pft ist normal and xray and ct scan came back normal too. I am still very afraid that I have a chronic bronchitis that never really goes away.
Did anyone of you had the same symptoms and has copd now? Can I still stop to progress to copd? I'm very sad an anxious pls help me.
