Hi
Thanks for your query.
Consult a pulmonologist. you need to go through the proper assessment of severity of COPD and proper dosage of COPD medications along with a correct inhaler technique. For stomach problem you need to take pantoprazole tablet 40 mg twice daily before food for 1 month atleast. I think you will be benefited.
Thank you
