Unpredictable

I am a 57 year old AA female who was diagnosed with COPD. It has gotten progressively worse within the last 12 months.

I have a question for the community. Has anyone experienced chest filling, difficulty breathing with feelings of drowning from the inside? I recently took a regiment of prednisone that helped for one day. I am eager to find foods, medication or other treatment that can assist. Thank you all for your comments.
