Jack, definitely switch to another Pulmonary Dr. I have had several pulmonary doctors over the last 25 years. Some of them had no bedside manners. I mean cold blooded, and think they know everything. Maybe your Primary Doctor can refer you to a good one. Make sure he’s in your network. Otherwise it can be very costly. I’m a veteran with a disability not COPD, but after many years I was able to get that rating so all my health care is free. If you’re a veteran you can sign up with the VA and you have to pay a copayment but some of the inhalers etc. are cheaper. If not hopefully you have a good insurance plan.
Good Luck.

Yes. I recently had one that spent more time on his company laptop than listening to me. I had already started seeing another doctor, who is great, when I found out previous one retired.
Its your body and you know it best so don't be afraid to shop around for a new doctor. Check their reviews, that can help. Good luck!

Make sure you get a pulmonologist and a spirometry test. My last one said that I had 65% of my lungs left. Not sure what that means as I get breathless with not too much physical activity.

👍🏻

Thank u,gonna find a new one
