Hello, copd is a chronic progressive disease. You should take all your inhaler medicines regularly. As you said, in spite of taking oxygen you get breathless, it means you are having very severe copd. You can enroll yourself for pulmonary rehabilitation programme to increase your exercise tolerance. It will help you to manage your daily activities with minimal breathlessness and minimizes the need for oxygen supplementation.
