What to do if i have been diagnozed with copd multiple emphysematous blebs bullae diffusely and fibrosis atelectatic calcified?

Depends: First thing to do is relax... The best thing to do is see your doctor and get a pulmonary function test (PFT). This tests how good your lung function is. Based on those results, as well as your symptoms, you and your doctor can devise the best treatment plan. COPD is not a death sentence. You can live a long, functional life with the disease. First thing to do is STOP SMOKING, if applicable.
