Hello,
Thanks for posting your query
COPD is a chronic lung disease and you need to understand that there is no cure as such for it. But the symptoms can be controlled and lung damage can be prevented by means of medications and lifestyle modification.
You can continue with the prescribed medications and also do changes as:
1) Avoid smoking, cold air, allergy causing or exacerbating products.
2) Doing regular exercise or walk which builds strength.
3) Having healthy balanced diet including fish, lean meat, fruits, vegetables, etc.
Along with that you can take holy XXXXXXX supplements. But there is no study which has proved that only XXXXXXX can cure the disease. I would suggest you to take the medications suggested by your doctor to prevent any further damage.
Hope this answers your query. I will be available for follow up query if any.
Regards
