hi all I was diagnosed about five year ago with having copd I had sob and went to an emergency room the sr there done a chest X-ray and diagnosed me with copd gave me a very strong steroid and an albuterol inhaler and that was all I've been to the sr since then several times and nothing more has been done again yesterday I had to go to the er because of sob and they never even done a chest X-ray just prescribed me an albuterol inhaler and told me to see my dr which I'm doing tomorrow .. But I've never had anything more done other than a chest X-ray to determine whether or not I had copd
