You need to see a doc about this. It's not normal and you need to find out what the issue is. Many people with COPD have started eating four to six very small meals rather than two or three large ones. The diaphragm expands with COPD and begins to push down on the stomach, limiting what can be held and digested, but your problem sounds a lot more serious than that.
