COPD, Pulmonary Hypertension and Sarcoidosis

[puddy68]

Hi Everyone. I'm so sorry for asking yet another question........I have moderate COPD, mild Pulmonary Hypertension and scarring on my lungs from sarcoidosis [which is not active now]. So I think that the fact that I have Pulmonary Hypertension and COPD puts me into 2 different categories of PH, and I know [I think!] that each category is treated differently. My appointment with the respiratory specialist isn't for another month, and I was wondering if anyone else fell into more than one category, and how they were treated? I just don't know what to expect.....I'm on Trimbow Inhaler at the moment [for my COPD], but does anyone take oral medication as well as inhalers? Also, and I'm sorry for yet another question, but if anyone is in the same boat, are there medications that can treat COPD AND PH? I'm just feeling very muddled and want to have my thoughts clear when I see the specialists. Thank you so. so much. Shelley.

I have COPD and PULMONARY HYPERTENSION. I am on medication for COPD but only oxygen for PH.As soon as I was diagnosed with PH I was put on 24/7 oxygen and told this is all I need and no other medication as the meds I take for copd is enough.

I take Ventolin Sirdupla,, Carbosisteine, O ramorph,Spiriva and Azithromycin (3 times a week) I also take Vit D. Plus I'm on oxygen 24/7
