Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your wives situation and problem. COPD (chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease) is progressive Pulmonary disease. In late stages oxygenation function of lung is decreased. So this causes right sided heart failure and cor pulmonale. Right sided heart failure is the cause for her hypotension. Right sided heart failure in COPD patient carries poor prognosis. She needs diuretics and cardiac isotropic Chat Doctor.  Excess fluid will harm her. So ask your doctor to rule out heart failure by 2d echo and discuss diuretics and cardiac isotropic
