I have to go back in month to do another Spirometer test to confirm COPD but they are sure I do have COPD due to symptoms of shortness of breath and sputum . My husband smoked but now he has gave up but he never smoked in the house. I think may have been pollution ! My surgery because of being mild I have asthma too
