Hi, @A MyCOPDTeam Member:
Have you asked your doctor for a high-altitude breathing simulation test to address your concerns?
Forewarned will help you figure out what might aid you, if anything is needed, to get you through your relocation successfully.

Additionally, ask your pulmonologist if he or she knows of any pulmonologists in the area to recommend so that you have continuity of care during the transition. Moving, buying a house, getting married, the birth of a child,etc., are all high-stress life events, and you want to be as prepared as possible for your upcoming move to help it be successful.
Good luck !

Don’t know what to say, @A MyCOPDTeam Member, as we know that the doc’s get frustrated by not being able to offer helpful solutions as our health challenges continue. It’s up to you to fight for the proper care, if you think your new pulmonologist isn’t caring for you properly,
That’s where I’m at with my pulmonologist - fighting to access rehab and other solutions - without giving up on the medical relationship.
I’m sorry you’re frustrated.

I don't live in Colorado but already know that altitude has a big effect on OUR breathing ability. The body should adapt over time to compensate - or may NOT.
IF you're referring to Denver at over 5,000 feet above sea level - All bets are off. 😵💫😵💫 Even my dragsters have to be re-tuned between every race to make it to the finish line. 🏁
be Well
@A MyCOPDTeam Member my new pulmonologist said to just turn my 02 higher!
That's a good question @A MyCOPDTeam Member I'm looking forward to reading the replies.
