My mother died from it about 6 months after she was diagosed. She couldn't breathe and had a panic attack and that is when it was diagnosed after being taken to the hospital. They could see her enlarged heart.
Then she wouldn't stop smoking. She had a breathing machine but wouldn't do the treatments daily like they recommended. When she had a breathing problem she went to the neighbor's who helped her with their breathing machine. May have been a heart attack that was the cause of death.
Watch your ankles for any signs of swelling, i.e. fluid buildup. You probably can't take much fluid in your lungs before you have problems. Wear a mask outside in the cold and try to avoid any type of cold or bronchial issues. Doesn't take much for pneumonia to set in.
Just had a friend die with emphysima. A cold turned to pneumonia. Once the fluid began building up in his lungs, even the doctors and the hospital couldn't reverse it. Even tried a breathing tube. He was fairly obese and had just recently quit smoking.
My uncle survived until he was 83 which was about 22 years after his first heart attack & bypass and 10 years after a bout with throat cancer.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
