Hi! I just found this group and joined, and have been reading some questions and answers and feel so lost.
I was diagnosed with COPD about a year and a half ago, and my doctors offer me so little information. A year ago in May 2020, I was diagnosed with Pneumonia from a CT Chest, and 3 hours later I just couldn't breathe. I was discharged from the hospital on Oxygen 24/7. Even after the pneumonia was cleared up I sill have inflammation in my lungs and O2 that was just too low... all the time. 1 year and 6 days later, I was once again hospitalized with pneumonia. I was still on oxygen 24/7. But this last time it was worse as I went into acute respiratory failure. Even my blood pressure bottomed out and wouldn't come up.
So no one tells me anything. No one explained what happened. I have no idea what to expect in the future. I know absolutely nothing about this disease. And I will be going and reading through the Learning Materials on this site. I am just to lost. I have no idea what is going on with my lungs or my low O2 sats.
