Suggest Treatment For Dropping CO2 Levels After Walking For A While

I have Chronic copd ,for the last couple of weeks after walking a short distance inside my home my co2 levels are dropping to about 74 and my pulse is around 158. I am on oxygen 24/7 at 3 litres . I have been told a lung transplant is my best option but it is not possible. How long can my body survive under this stress?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day and thanks for your question. Lung transplant is a possible option. Why did you say its not possible? I would like to know the reason. Lung transplant would extend life expectancy and enhance the quality of your life.
If handled by the best surgeons around, lung transplant would be the best options for you.
Hope it helps. Thank you.
