Hello Levin's the best advice anyone can give you is to go and see your GP we can't tell you what medication to take. You must go and seek medical advice. Take care.😊 Bernadette xx

I would suggest that you go to your pulmonologist and if you don't have one, get a referral to one. There are a number of options but only your pulmonologist would know what is right for you.

I agree with Damon1864, you should see your doctor. If she puts you on prednisone again, she probably has a good reason. If she doesn't tell you why, ask her.

Unfortunately as a copd patient, we have to deal with taking medications and using inhalers. I hate using my inhaler, but I use it, twice a day as prescribed because it helps my breathing. Breathing is always a good thing, and it sure beats the alternative.

Not what you're looking for?
