Rehab Exercise
What can I do to safely exercise with COPD?
I emphyzema moderate. I take Advair and albuterol for action Quick inhaler. I rarely use the inhaler. My problem is that I need oxygen if I move at all. I gained 30 # s in the 18 months since my diagnosis. What exercises can I do? I did pulmonary rehabilitation, but that does not help with weight.
If you gain weight and oxygen I suspect there is something you do not say. As you are on steroids for a prolonged inflammatory condition. In general, people suffering from moderate emphysema do not need oxygen as much as you say you do. I think is either heart disease or fibrosis in the lungs. Steroids you want to change your eating habits. You should adjust caloric intake, fats, etc. Nobody told me that and I'm still on prednisone and cons still gain weight from it. At least, I reached a plateau. You should continue with the rehab. This is a good way to burn calories and be supervised by health professionals while you do. They should be able to advise you on diet or refer you to someone who can. Sorry it's so long. But the problem with steroids is not gain water weight like many people think. It is due at the time of winter body secreted cortisol to make you deposit more fat for the relative lack of food to come. That's why people in the long term steroids develop "moon face" and "Buffalo humps" and Bellys. God bless you and help you find the best way for you to live with your state.
