In 2020, 2,074 people diagnosed with COPD took our 6th Annual COPD In America survey. We learn so much about this community each time we field this survey. Some of the findings confirm what we already knew, but others are more surprising! We want to share some of the survey results with you while testing your knowledge.

Having said that, it is also true that medication regimens can also vary considerably among patients. I am glad to hear the nebulizer treatments combined with a Symbicort inhaler works so well for you. We appreciate both your input and your feedback. All the best, Leon (site moderator <a href='https://copd.net' target='_blank'>COPD.net</a>)

About it 45 minutes ago I posted something that works for me that didn't really include everything. Well I'm anxious and breathing too fast and can't seem to slow down I do a three step by by parsing to the count of five drawing air into the count of five holding the air to the count of five parsing the air out to the count of five and then drawing air in again it seems to call me down.

We are appreciative that you are sharing a system that works for you when managing anxiety and a rapid breathing rate, too. It looks like your thoughts were cut off here - are you able to finish your thought? It would be great to read the rest of what you had in mind to share here. Thanks so much, Leon (site moderator <a href='https://copd.net' target='_blank'>COPD.net</a>)
