Hello doctor! I have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease type D. The doctor asked me if there is any surgical method or use of medicine to relieve shortness of breath and fatigue? Obstructive lung disease causes patients to have varicose veins right? I see that my legs are getting smaller and smaller, does it matter? I hope to consult a doctor for treatment methods? Thank you doctor.

Hello! Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that causes chronic inflammation of the airways. Patients must adhere to regular check-ups and preventive treatment (medications, sprays), and eliminate and avoid all risk factors for the onset of dyspnea (quit smoking, avoid smog, stay warm. ..), eat a diet rich in protein (meat, fish, eggs), nutrients, avoid eating a lot of carbohydrates (sugar).
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and varicose veins are two completely different diseases, trying to adhere to a diet and treatment regimen will help reduce prolonged shortness of breath and lose weight.
