COPD End Stages

COPD is a lung disease where there is an airflow obstruction.  COPD end stages are when the disease reaches its final stages and there is no more treatment possible.  The end stages of COPD in patients include heart failure and acute pain.  At this stage, proper care of the patients is essential to provide a reasonable quality of life.  Acute symptoms should be treated with antibiotic inhalants for patients with COPD.  At this stage of the disease, there will likely be acute coughing and wheezing.  Failure to take proper care of the symptoms of this disease may result in heart complications and even death.

People who have earlier stages of COPD can care for their symptoms with heart healthy exercise such as aerobics.  Keeping busy is often a very good way to improve breathing and is also good for the heart.  Failure to treat the issue in the earlier stages will make the problem more pronounced.  The earlier stage the treatment occurs, the healthier you will be.  It is important to seek a consultation with a medical professional as soon as possible for prolonged life and a better quality of life.  The issue is treatable if it is caught early enough.
