Any: There is no contraindication between virtually any blood pressure medicine and COPD in general. There was a time when drugs in the class of "beta blockers" where thought to worsen COPD symptoms but this is not longer the case, as further evidence showed that in most cases these drugs were not a problem. In terms of your specific situation you should discuss with your doctor.
