Has anyone had resperatory problems, COPD, Emphazema, chronic bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis as part of their Lyme symptoms??

Absolutely!
I used to use an inhaler regularly for asthmatic symptoms, and when I was at my worst, had terrible chest congestion that accompanied what seemed like was a never ending cold/flu.
Now after 9mos of abx, I haven't used my inhaler but one time in the last 3 months, and I no longer have those continuous, sickly, flu-like symptoms.

I had those symptoms, but they turned out to be from babesia and a common household mold that I kept pouring bleach on, not realizing Lysol was the only cleaning solution that would work. Lyme/babesia/bartonella patients aren't renowned for their housecleaning skills.

A 50% solution of bleach+water will knock off HIV.
That virus can live for 20 minutes on a countertop.
This info. came from a teacher when I was re-activating my license eons ago.
It is the strength and the timing that matter.
Bleach will get rid of mold...just in the right strength. Yes, sometimes it must be repeated.
"Standing time" is very important too. Gotta be patient. It is not a wipe on, wipe off sort of thing.
Same with the other mold removers (the safer nicer smelling orange products). They work, but you have to wait a few minutes before rinsing off.
Metabolic acidosis causes respiratory alkalosis.

Yes, asthma.

I was just diagnosed with this. I am a former smoker (quit over 20 years ago) My PCP blamed it on that, but is it all part of Lyme???

i was dx with asthma at 50. then chronic broncitis-then possible copd. it turned out to be from bad air in a building (school) where i worked. they wouldn't fix it-politics-sad for the kids and staff still there. but when i was transferred i got better. except-now i am extra sensitive and some chemicals or allergens set me off that didn't used to. breathing air near the ocean where waves are breaking helps me get better. i'm off inhaler and a bunch of meds for over 2 yrs.
