Is there a word that is used for asthma overlapping mild copd? Would like to give my travel insurance the correct diagnosis.

Copd. Asthma

According to my doctor s you rather have asthma or copd they say they are two different things so you can take your pick which one you want to diagnose on your letter. Hope this is useful to you. Richy

Hi

I would use both, COPD is a umbrella term for chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

If it’s not in the insurance dictionary, it will count as misleading information, which is not difficult with insurance.
