Why treatment matters

There are a number of COPD treatment options that can affect your day-to-day life. You and your healthcare provider can work together to create a treatment plan designed to help you feel better, improve your ability to stay active, and slow the damage to your lungs.

It's also important to reduce exacerbations, those times, periodically, when your day-to-day COPD symptoms get markedly worse. Learn more about exacerbations.

Work with your doctor. The right
treatment plan could help you:

•  Feel better
•  Improve your ability to stay active
•  Slow the damage to your lungs
•  Treat exacerbations (when your symptoms get markedly worse)

How you can track your progress

Remember, your treatment plan is designed to help you feel your best. It may change over time as your condition changes, so it's important to keep exploring options with your doctor. This COPD Care Record offers a good way to track your progress.

Still having difficulty breathing?
