Hi Ronzy. I have COPD and take carbocisteine tabs plus Trelegy inhaler. My walking's very slow, but I think that's the pred rather than the breathing. It's awful when you're diagnosed with yet another condition on top of these PMRGCA ones. Got urology appointment, under 2-week timeline for investigation, tomorrow for yet more blood in urine after repeated UTI's. Wishing you all the best.
