copd and asthma

I have had copd for a while now and dealing with as best I can but the last lung function I had the doctor said I now have severe asthma too and it's a progression of the copd.  Has anyone else had this happen?

I got them more or less at the same time  I think. What has helped me enormously is potassium iodide (Lugol's solution). You might want to ask your llung MD about this.
