End Stages of COPD 

The end stages of COPD in patients may include pulmonary disease that affects the heart, chronic wheezing and pain.  The COPD end stages in patients should be treated with proper care.  COPD is a difficult disease for patients to adequately care for.  However, If you catch the disease prior to the end stages and at an earlier stage, COPD can be managed.  The care of patients with COPD includes exercise and activity to help strengthen the heart and avoid pulmonary complications.  There will be inhalants that can be used to ward off coughing and wheezing, also.

The end stage disease is usually when the person has pulmonary problems and can not breathe well or at all on their own.  At this stage the heart is at serious risk.  It is much more beneficial to catch the problem in the earlier stages than in the end stages.  If caught early enough, a person can have a good chance of leading a relatively normal life.  Talk with your doctor or health care professional about your options and ways to develop a proper treatment routine.  With exercise, medication and proper rest, the person who has the ailment will be able to lead a healthier lifestyle and prolong their life.
