Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Lower extremity edema in a patient with COPD is usually a sign of cor pulmonale(pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure).
You should take medicines as prescribed from doctor because lasix is for oedema and consult with him/her to determine your stage of disease and its complications.
Take care of you
