hi welcome to HCM
i have gone through your query and concerned
as you r saying u r having COPD treatment will depend upon the stage of copd based on GOLD guidelines and using CAT assessment we need to know whter you come under which category(A,B,C,D)
basically you may be required to use inhaler medications ( ranging from tiotropium, to formoterol ,inhaled steroids in various combinations or single)
so first get a spirometry done
i hope u r query is answered
