Will copd and heart problems compound the symptoms and make them worse. i have stage 1close to 2 copd and aortic valve insufficiency + irreg. heartbea?

Yes: COPD and aortic valve regurgitation, if significant enough, can both make you short of breath. Working harder to breathe secondary to copd, or the volume overload of a leaky aortic valve can both increase your likelihood of atrial arrhythmias, .

Wow: You want a lung and a heart specialist to take care of these problems. Both may cause similar symptoms.
