Life Before Zephyr\u00ae<\/sup> Endobronchial Valves:<\/h2>\n

It happened automatically. You notice that you can do less and less. I was struggling to breathe, couldn\u2019t do many things, and it made me tired. I could no longer do that job, as it became too physically demanding.<\/p>\n

Emphysema creeps in without you realizing. It is really cruel that it is only discovered so late because you raise the alarm too late. I was diagnosed with COPD in 2005.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Life After Zephyr Endobronchial Valves:<\/h2>\n

\u2018I noticed many differences at home. It was an eye-opener, it was fantastic.\u2019 <\/em>After the Zephyr Valve treatment, Els can independently shower and climb stairs without stopping, and is back to doing what she loves \u2014 cycling!<\/p>\n

Watch the video to see how Els from the Netherlands is doing now years after she had the Zephyr Endobronchial Valve procedure for severe\/COPD emphysema.<\/strong><\/h5> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
