Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
It is recommended that you discuss your COPD with your doctor before beginning Ativan in order to monitor the effect and make sure you will not have any adverse effects.
If you have not already done so, please make your prescribing doctor aware of your condition.
