Eberhard’s Journey:<\/h2>\n

Eberhard Jordan, a visual artist and COPD activist, shares his experience with severe COPD\/emphysema and how valve therapy changed his life. From struggling with daily activities to setting new challenges like climbing the DC Tower, Vienna\u2019s highest building.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cWhen I think back to the time before I got the valves and could barely walk up two floors to my flat, what I’m doing now is a small miracle and has a ‘wow’ effect on me.\u201d

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

\u201cI could hardly climb steps anymore, let alone keep up\u00a0 or walk with anyone. Extreme shortness of breath when carrying the shopping. When I got upset, I could hardly breathe. Those were the everyday complaints.\u201d – Eberhard Jordan.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

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

\u201cEveryday activities become easier because you feel safer, because you have greater reserves in your lungs. You can also exercise more, and that is something that was very important to me personally. I then set myself a challenge, as an example, Vienna has various towers, and I wanted to climb these towers simply because I know how difficult it is to get to the second floor when you have COPD.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the lung specialists looking after him, \u201cMr. Jordan has really achieved something great here, in that it was only through consistent drug therapy, valve therapy, and, above all, very consistent training.\u201d \u2013 further elaborate Prof. Valipour and Dr. Petrovic.<\/p>\n
