I'm 30 years old and doctor told me that I have copd, I have trouble with my breathing recently, ct scan, X ray, blood test are normal but lung function test hasn't been done yet and the inhaler that I'm using isn't helping me at all,
I have recently quit smoking, I'm over weight as well, I'm a cleaner and due to pandemic all I was doing was staying home smoking and eating all day, I started having difficulties breathing after few weeks of lock down I was talking a long breath while on rest, and on June one of my room mate she caught cold and so did i, and I started coughing runny nose with mild fever, few days later I brought bright red blood on sputum which lead me to see my general practitioner and he advised me that I have to go through covid test 1st, I went through test it came negative, doctor ask me to do X ray and ct scan, on same day of scan, around eight pm doctor called me and informed me I may have lung cancer as he found mass at my left lung and he urgently referred me to respiratory clinic following up respiratory clinic it turned out mass in lung was cyst which has been there from six years, since that day I haven't been able to concentrate and my shortness of breath hasn't improved, I have rushed to emergency unit four time within these Six weeks, I have lost my appetite, within six weeks I have lost six kilo which I feel good as I'm over weight but I feel weak and stressed most of time as I don't have friends to share and speak with, few days ago I went to doctor and I have asked him what is causing me shortness of breath and why is getting worse despite of using inhaler, and his answer was i have COPD, he didn't mentioned stages he hasn't refered me for further diagnosis the inhaler that I'm using is giving me soar throat and muscle pain, I can feel my heart beat when I try to sleep, and since these things happened I haven't been able to sleep, I'm divorced I still have family matters on court, can any one please suggest me how should I think I got a responsibility of my aging parents as I'm from Asian background. And I haven't been able to communicate with my mom and dad, these ten years in Australia has been tough and I'm loosing my will power.
