Hi,
Thanks for query.
I understand your concern.
COPD...means chronic obstructive pulmonary diseas...concerned mainly withasthma/bronchitis causing respiratory difficulty.
You have been given treatment to manage blood pressure.. which is essential .but...
Tretment of obstructive pulmonary disease is of prime importance in COPD... which seems to be totally scipped!
You need a detailed physical examination &needful investigations to assess gravity of your respiratory symptoms by a chest physician &it's specific management.
Thanks.
