How bad are typical early COPD symptoms? (and struggling to cope)

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering from your experiences what are the symptoms of early COPD like?

I'm 28M and have been dealing with some non-reversible obstruction for about 10 months now. My FEV1/FVC is at 70% without reversibility - most recent spirometry result is attached for reference.

I have seen 3 pulmonologists now, but they have all taken a 'wait and see' approach. I'm really constantly suffering with these symptoms.

Every waking minute of every day I am struggling to breathe, sometimes there are short times when I get distracted but it is constant discomfort otherwise.

For reference I'm now on Trimbow LABA/LAMA/ICS 2x daily, but the symptoms are still pretty awful. I have a clear CT scan, so if it is COPD (still not officially diagnosed) then it is pure chronic bronchitis type.

It feels like I'm breathing through a straw, and there's nothing I can do to help it.

Is this typical for COPD, and is this what I should expect my life to be like now?

Thank you!
