Did you know that COPD patients face numerous challenges every day? One of the most significant obstacles they face is limited mobility due to their chronic illness. This limitation often leaves them homebound, making it challenging to visit their doctors regularly. As a result, decisions made on their treatment plans are based on brief 15-minute appointments that occur once or twice a year. It's not uncommon for these patients to show up winded and with low oxygen levels, making it even more challenging to adjust their treatment effectively. #COPD #ChronicIllness #TreatmentChallenges #LimitedMobility
