Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath When Diagnosed With COPD And Arthritis

My husband has COPD. Doc has had him on Percocet 7.5 every 8 hours for arthritis pain for years. Prescribed Tramadol HCL 50 mg 3/day in addition to Percocet for his extreme pain 01/15/16. Before this he was short of breath, but this weekend he has gotten really short of breath. I read tonite that the addition of the Tramadol could cause respitory distress so he will not take any more and his last dose was at 3 PM today. How long before we can expect his breathing to improve.
