I'm 22 and whenever I walk up and down the stairs, I get quite breathless. Can you suggest what I can do to help improve my airflow? Also, what kind of tests should I consider to pinpoint the issue? I've heard about the ABD testwould that be relevant for these symptoms? Plus, even a short 5-minute dance leaves me out of breath. Any advice would be really helpful.

My dad's really struggling with his COPD. He can barely walk 20 meters without having trouble breathing. He's taking Trinose, Montelukast, Acebrophylline, and Finofixodine tablets, plus an inhaler, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Is there anything else we can try or do for better relief? Its really worrying me.
