That sounds really frustrating β€” feeling foggy-headed on top of everything else is the last thing anyone needs. Since neuropathy isn't a comorbidity of COPD, that specific question is a bit outside the scope of what can be helpfully addressed here. It's really worth bringing this up with your doctor or a specialist who can Show Full Answer

That sounds really frustrating β€” feeling foggy-headed on top of everything else is the last thing anyone needs. Since neuropathy isn't a comorbidity of COPD, that specific question is a bit outside the scope of what can be helpfully addressed here. It's really worth bringing this up with your doctor or a specialist who can look at the full picture.

What can be shared is how CBD might relate to COPD specifically, in case that's useful context. Research on CBD and COPD is still in early stages, and results aren't conclusive. Because COPD involves lung inflammation, and CBD has potential anti-inflammatory properties, some people with COPD have reported feeling some relief. However, there are real risks to be aware of:

- Drowsiness and fatigue (which could worsen existing COPD tiredness)
- Reduced appetite (a concern if keeping weight on is already difficult)
- Stomach problems
- Mood changes
- Possible liver damage, especially with high or frequent doses
- Potential interactions with other medications

Some MyCOPDTeam members have shared positive experiences with CBD, while others noticed no difference at all β€” so results vary widely.

The most important step before trying CBD is talking to your healthcare provider, especially since you're already on medication. They can help weigh the risks and benefits for your specific situation.
