Tracking my COPD symptoms every day
It is important to track your COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) symptoms. Changes in your symptoms could mean that you are having a flare-up. COPD symptoms include: nShortness of breath nCoughing n Coughing up mucus n Change in the color or amount of mucus
Before tracking your symptoms, know what your usual, day-to-day symptoms are. This can help you recognize changes.
Use this tracker every day to track your symptoms. Follow these steps:
1. Talk to your healthcare provider about what to do if your symptoms change. 2. Make or print additional copies of the blank tracker so you can re-use it. It has space to track 3 weeks of
your symptoms. 3.Each day, record your COPD symptoms in the chart below. Note what you did based on what your
provider said to do if your symptoms change. 4. Take your completed tracker to your next provider visit to talk about your day-to-day symptoms.
