A member asked:
I have had 6 chest infections since september 2012. should i talk to my doctor about having copd?

To your MD: This is not normal, you need to have further tests to determine what is going on, COPD is at the bottom of the list at the age of 19. See your doctor about it.

See a Pulmonologist: Time has come that u should see a lung specialist to do additional tests such as bronchoscopy etc before diagnosis and treatment!
