Can anyone help with the pro's and con's of the Zephyr Valve?

Pulmo Dr. gave me the go ahead on pre-testing for this valve. Has anyone had this procedure, and was it successful? Any concerns I should be aware of that could possibly be helpful? Also, any websites would be useful as well.
My Dr. gave me a pamphlet and a brief description on how this should go. Wanting to ask the 'patient' as you are the one who has been through it.
Any information would be welcome, Thank you in advance.

Does anyone experience leg, hand and feet cramps?

I am on Bevespi and Asmanex for the past three months. I have been having very frequent, painful cramps in my foot, toes, lower leg and hand/fingers. It seems it started after a change in medications, Has anyone else had the same problem? I tend to think it may be from Asmmanex, which is a corticosteroid. Any feed back will be appreciated.

How do know when it’s time to start seeing a specialist?

I’m just unsure what a specialist will do for me that my Family physician can’t do. I was put on a daily inhaler but I don’t find it does anything to help. Does that mean I’m not ready for a daily inhaler?

Wondering if there a connection between indigestion and other stomach issues and COPD?

Have had stomach issues since my teens. December will mark 10 years of battling COPD. Have been through extensive tests concerning the stomach and thorough testing on my heart. I have indigestion a lot, sometimes all day long, sometimes with nausea, sometimes with pain on my chest, in my back between my shoulder blades. During these days, I am sleepy, fatigued, sometimes with a head ache. Other days it is completely not there!
