Q: my brother has copd and a lung capacity of 35 what stage is he in
Hi Molly,
Your brother's doctor is the best one to answer this question as he/she will know more about your brother's total health condition, but at 35%, your brother is probably in Stage 3, or severe COPD. Most patients at this stage need to be on supplemental oxygen 24/7.
Hope this helps you understand, but never be afraid to call the doctor's office and ask questions. That's your right!
Best,
Kathi
