Coping with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
If you or a loved one have any of these signs and symptoms, we can help guide you through this difficult time.
COPD, often due to emphysema, is a chronic progressive lung disease that cannot be cured. Symptoms typically worsen over time, with increasing shortness of breath and weakness. Supportive services including in-home, palliative or hospice care can provide expert symptom management and compassion for people living with chronic lung disease, as well as their family.
If you or a loved one have any of these COPD symptoms, let us help you:
Shortness of breath or labored breathing at rest or with minimal exertion
Elevated heart rate or irregular heart beat at rest
Repeated lung infections
Worsening leg swelling
Progressive, unintentional weight loss
Repeated hospitalizations, rehabilitation stays or ER visits
