[|AI|]  Normalit for posmanagementncern in Chat Doctor. I think whether the pain is related to COPD depends on the site of back pain. An upper back pain with /without fever, chest pain, altered sensorial, dyspnea etc. in a known COPD patient, may be due to lower respiratory tract infection or pneumonia with exacerbated COPD. But, they may also be due to mechanical back pain due to faulty posture, spinal abnormality etc. On the other hand, low back pain may be due to all the above causes except any chest related cause and also may be due to urogenital or colonic infection or pathologpathology. Your respiratory distress on the other hand is due to COPD. But, cardiac causes need exclusion. Therefore, you should consult your local physician for further management. For any further information please write back.
