Hi @sonic160765
There is lots of information about COPD here that might help. You can also get support and information from the British Lung Foundation here, you can speak to their helpline on 03000 030 555 and find support in your area here.
If you are unhappy with the support youre receiving, could you ask for a second opinion or referral to a different hospital?0 -
