Get medical help from his treating doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking in HCM

I am so sorry for your friend's situation and i can understand your concern

According to the history you explain his situation is not so good.

Stage 4 COPD is accompanied with several complications and comorbidities.

If he was my patient i would recommend him to do a check up for evaluating his actual condition with a pulmnonologist specialist.

I would prefer he would be hospitalized for this.

If everything comes negative than he should do some physical physiotherapy especially to help his muscles to be relaxed and active more

Please discuss with his doctor for this

I wish a fast recovery for your friend

Feel free to ask me again
