Discuss: This may be moderate to severe obstructive lung disease or an acute exacerbation if the underlying disease is more mild (maybe due to infection). See the treating physician for an urgent follow up as add-on therapy may be needed (or go to ER, follow your instinct). Overall, pulmonary rehabilitation training may have the most positive effect long-term.

See below: I would recommend having a follow up with your pulmonologist. You are on good medications. However, if you are having a flare up, you may need more acute treatment. If you are not, then you may need other testing done, such as an ECHO or maybe try pulmonary rehab. I would be happy to discuss further if you need more information. Hope you feel better.
