If you aren't seeing a ulmonologist now, you should see one. PCPs are often able to treat COPD competently, but if yours hasn't prescribed anything and hasn't answered your questions about why not, you might want to see one. if you haven't talked with your PCP about why they haven't prescribed anything, I would encourage you to do that before you find a pulmonologist. The explanation may be very convincing and reasonable.

Your pulmonologist should be able to advise you.🩷

I'd say yes. Even if you don't feel the need for one, it is nice to have one in case you find yourself needing some help. If/when you find yourself in a situation where breathing becomes difficult your feelings of stress will interfere and make it worse. Knowing you have that inhaler will help you control that feeling of stress/fear. I agree with the others. Ask abut an inhaler and why one hasn't been prescribed. Find a pulmonologist so you can develop a relationship with someone who will 'have your back' and be able to anticipate your needs and answer any questions and concerns you would have. You have a great day. Be happy and content.
