I'm dealing with asthma, but for the past 45 months, I've been feeling breathless constantly. There's a lot of yawning and burping happening too. I had an X-ray, which showed everything's fine. I've tried nebulization and other treatments my doctor recommended, but nothing seems to work. Could you offer some advice on what might be happening?

I'm really concerned about COPD and was wondering if you could explain it to me. Is it something that can be managed with the right medication, or is it an irreversible condition? Also, are there any lifestyle changes I should consider to help manage COPD? I've heard there might be lab tests available to diagnose itcould you let me know if that's true? And, just curious, is there any connection between high blood pressure and COPD? Looking forward to your advice.

Copd is not curable but proper medication and life style changes can help manage her symptoms, slow disease progression, and improve quality of life
