COPDis caused mainly by smoking. So if you are smoker 1st thing is to quit smoking, get enroll in pulmonary rehabilitation center. Get done Chest X Ray and pulmonary function test for your COPD staging. There are many treatment options like dry powder inhalers, meter dose inhalers, oral theophyllins, mucolytics, nebulization, adult vaccination for H.Influenza and P.Pneumococci.
