asthma is allergy in most of cases in my opinion
copd can agAIN BE DUE TO CHRONIC ASTHMA AND MEDICINES THE SWELLING CAN ALSO BE CAUSED BY ALLERGIES
SO IN MY OPINION SOME OF BODY PROTEINS ARE REACTING WITH EXTERNAL PROTEINS LIKE FOODS POLLENS CLOTHES OR MEDICINES
YOU CAN FIND OUT BY CONSULTING THE DOCTOR TO GET BLOOD SERUM TESTS FOR SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES FIOR VARIOUS EXPECTED PROTEINS WITHDRAW THEMYOU WILL BE BENEFITTED MORE THAN WITH MEDICINES
