Keep an eye on your breathing. Count silently to four on the inhale and six on the exhale. Repeat for a few cycles. Don’t force it, and if you lose count, gently start over.
Make sure you're taking your medications as directed. Keep them organized and check the expiration dates. If something feels off, talk to your doctor.
Try to get moving every day. Start slow and build up your activity level. Think walking, light weights, or even dancing in your room.
Make sure your home is comfy and safe. Keep it clean and free of dust or smoke. Consider using air filters.
Pay attention to your mood. If you're feeling down, talk to someone you trust or seek help from a counselor.
Keep in touch with your Wellinks coach & health care providers. Schedule regular check-ups and share any concerns you have about your health.
Know what to do in case of emergencies. Keep important numbers handy and have your rescue meds nearby.
Good sleep is super important. Try to stick to a bedtime routine and make your sleeping area cozy.
By monitoring these things, you'll better control your COPD and feel your best. Don't hesitate to ask for help whenever you need it!
