Asthma, COPD and other respiratory infections are the most common conditions that present to general practice. 

“Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a term used to describe chronic lung diseases including emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. This disease is characterised by breathlessness.

COPD is (currently) an incurable disease, but with the right diagnosis and treatment, there are many things you can do to breathe better and enjoy life and live for many years.”  https://www.copdfoundation.org

Your Doctor will work with you to put together an individualised action plan.  It is imperative to discuss with your Doctor what triggers your condition.   The action plan you develop with your Doctor will ensure control and management and  less exacerbation of your condition.
