Please make sure that you confirm the diagnosis of COPD. You’re rather young and if you have not smoked or been in a profession with heavy exposure to smoke, I would have them check an alpha-1 antitrypsin level and genotype.
You can confirm the diagnosis of COPD with your symptoms, and a spirometry. A mucosal swab is all you need to rule out alpha-1 deficiency. A high resolution CT scan will also be helpful if suspects emphysema secondary to enzyme deficiencies.
