Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should enroll in deaddiction center force quitting heroine abuse.
Deaddiction center provides counseling sessions, motivational activities, drugs etc to counter withdrawal symptoms.
For COPD (chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease), better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Deep breathing exercises and incentive spirometry are also beneficial for COPD.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
