I don't know if have to see the CT scan are they sure it wasn't liquid? They told me after my breathing test I have lungs of a 70 yr old and my CT showed my lungs like broken glass they said pretty much the same thing as your Drs it wasn't anything I was like broken glass pic of my lungs hmmmmm I doubt that's nothing but it went away with antibiotics. So idk? Yours with copd I'd treat it like that right away but im not impressed with the Drs. Get another opinion and if it's still meaning CT scan see if still there in a few months. Then talk to someone with more knowledge than these Drs that you first seen maybe it's nothing I'll pray!!!

Yes, I have COPD, it’s very aggravating and scary when you have trouble breathing! I have to have predisone every day to try and keep my COPD under control, but sometimes it causes my Lupus to flare, which is very painful, but I do use 2 inhalers, breathing treatments, and a non-invasive by-pap machine I wear at night!

Yep that’s how I always am. But my symptoms are so all over the place and thank goodness some only last 30 min at a time unless bad bad flare. So hard to catch Gotta go to lung dr,,,,,,,,,,, lungs good that day. Next day, bad.
Gotta go to cardio,,,,,,,,,,no palpations. Next day,,,,,,heart is up to 150 while rest. Weird

It is frustrating isn’t it @A MyLupusTeam Member! So many of my tests show abnormalities but not quite enough to be “conclusive”

Good luck to you on your visit with the pulmonologist. I’ll be wishing you well. Let me know how it goes

I feel that way too. I have been 100 tests are going to show something and nothing. What? Then borderline. Then not positive enough. Then negative once then positive next. Annoying. Just annoying. Hang in there. I also have rough breathing at times especially morning. I don’t see lung doc til next week so I’ll see. I have a lot of mucus in my chest and throat.
Im sure someone will give up some info on copd I’m not really familiar ,,,,,,
