 [ Symptoms ] will xanax help with my stress i am so stressed out i feel sick cant sleep cold sweats my neck burns my face is hot and i dont know what to do [ Disease ] you ask a fascinating question and one that is very worthy of discussing with your dad is physician i tried to search for some relevant studies on this topic and did not find very many in general people with copd do worse at high altitudes whether they have lived at altitude for a long term or not the issues with ventilation at altitude are more complex than simple oxygen delivery there also are issues of breathing mechanics and heart function that come into play all of this is not to say you should not move your dad to be with you in denver i am saying it could be manageable if you discuss it in advance with some good doctors and learn what things you need to do to manage your dad is condition at high altitude or you might both decide the risks are too great my personal opinion is that quality of life matters more than quantity of life    especially when a person reaches an advanced age i would suggest you consult with your father is doctor or with a physician in denver to find out if the benefits for your dad would outweigh the risks wishing you well
