gumlay56, hi, I would say that a second opinion would be helpful at this point, I believe that we have instincts for a good reason, when in doubt check it out. I have had asthma for many years and also COPD, I remember when it started there was some time during testing that they weren’t sure yet but they have specific tests today that are very accurate to help with this, I hope that you get the answers you need to know to help you get the right treatment.
