Neither of your posts nor your profile indicate whether or not you have a diagnosed liver problem. There are a couple of lung issues that can go along with or be linked with liver disease - alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency (for example) a genetic condition that can affect both the lungs and liver.

Something your doctors could potentially check out if you feel your lung issue is anything other than COPD related.

Yes this forum is just for the liver but having liver issues can lead to knock on effects on other organs. If your lung issue is 'just' COPD related then that isn't liver related but as I said there are lung conditions which are linked with liver disease (alpha 1 as mentioned but also in more advanced liver disease the lungs can become involved through hepatopulmonary syndrome).
