"Ongoing Illness"

In 2018 I was diagnosed with COPD.

Last year I got a second opinion, the consultant I seen quickly raced through my notes and xrays etc, and came to the conclusion that I had a slight touch of Asthma. I don't know too much about Asthma but people I know who have it can get on with their daily lives without too many problems. 

I have used the inhalers I was given for COPD, but they seem to do nothing, I am the same with or without them. 

I seem to get some kind of internal flare up which gives me terrible diarrhoea, vomiting, and leaves me very incapacitated for months at a time. It also leaves me in a lot of pain, abdominal, chest area, mostly left hand side right through to my back. I have a constant pain which can get worse during the night, it seems to depend which way I am lying and this brings on the nausea in the morning. 

I found it hard to accept COPD diagnosis, as this came out of the blue, I was a keen cyclist and very fit. 

I am an ex smoker / drinker of some 14 years now. 

I have just taken ill again, I think I am now close to losing my job, s job I love. 

If it is COPD / Asthma, then I am not getting the help I need. 

If it is some other underlying illness then it needs looked into. 

I just want someone to help me. 

Thank you
