Symptom self management

Having a long-term condition might sometimes make you feel like you don’t have control over your health, your life, and what happens to you. 

Self-managing your COPD – with support from others – helps to give you the control and confidence to manage your condition. It's important to know all about your symptoms, your medication, and how to cope with flare-ups. It also makes your day-to-day life easier and could reduce the risk of needing to go into hospital.
