@A MyCOPDTeam Member the passing out is in Colorado. I do have what they call absent seizures now, or partial seizures. I can feel them coming on and if I can sit down I can come out of it.

KarenKay, passing out is a no no. Talk to your dr and maybe you should be on oxygen. Try laying down on your bed with a pillow under your head and take deep breaths of air into your lungs and then release threw your mouth slowly. Do this 5x and then take a rest...good luck and I hope this helps you.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member I myself cannot breathe in Colorado. I have tried two different times. I get white and pass out.
