I went to a pulmonologist had the lung breathing tests but could not check for my stage because I'm allergic to Ventolin and albuterol. He sort of through his hands in the air and more or less said I can't help you. I tried to see another pulmonologist but they are all in the same building and group here so there is a problem. I don't know what to do. Just prior to finding out about my copd my husband passed away so I'm pretty much alone here except for a few good friends. Please advise me what to do,this has me so upset I'm sure it's not helping my problem. I have been using tread mill, eating healthy and quit smoking the minute I was told. It's been 5 months now. Thank you Dianne
