Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. COPD is chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease. It needs treatment irrespective of symptoms of patient. So you need to take treatment. Treatment for COPD are as follows. 1. Inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). 2. Avoidance of smoking if you are smoker. 3. Start deep breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy. 4. Get done adult Pulmonary vaccination with pneumococcal and Influenza vaccines to prevent recurrent respiratory tract infection. So better to consult another pulmonologist and discuss all these and start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
