Can Spiriva Intake Cause Breathing Issues?

I m having stomach problems and wonder if Spiriva could be the culprit. I have an enlarged, not unlike a beer belly and it is tight and distended I guess you could say. It makes it difficult for me to breathe more than just the COPD. I m 70 y o and on 2 L O2 except walking , then 3L. Irregular B M and bladder hard to empty completely.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Detailed evaluation is required including a chest X-ray.
