Thanks for all your reply,s . I went to see the Pulmonary Doctor and she said the PFT was normal low. COPD. and prescribed a number of inhalers. Spiriva , ventolin and I got to check with the pharmacist as I cant not read the doctors writing but I think it is Fluticasone and salmeterol. I think this is over the top. Inhalers don,t stop the progression of the disease do they? What do you all think. Thanks and God bless.
