Hi,
Thanks for posting query on HCM.
1. Pancreatitis normally requires conservative medical management. You can visit a gastroenterologist for the same. In case of complications like abscess, surgical intervention is required.
2. For COPD the most important management is smoking cessation and nothing works if one continues to smoke. You need to continue inhalers and oxygen. I fpossible participate in a Pulmonary rehab program which includes smoking cessation.
Regards
Dr. Mishra
