My mum (86) has COPD and has always coped ok til last night when she couldn't breathe properly and so didn't sleep at all.
She said she could breathe in on, but when she breathed out it made this weird sound she couldn't describe the sound very well.
The GP today examined her and said there wasn't much they could do as she was basically well so they sent her home and said call an ambulance if it happens again or if you have chest pain.
I have come to stay with her and am wondering what is going on. She has had a virus over the last week or so, kept testing negative for Covid. She just feels exhausted and frail, has no appetite and no energy.
I am wondering if it's the tail end of a virus or the beginning of the end. Not sure what I'm posting for really, other than to see if any had experience/thoughts.
