Use our guide to living with breathlessness to share breathing techniques with your patient. For personalised advice and recommendations, your patient can take our breath test, which will send them useful links and resources from our website via email.
Our Helpline nurse and specialist respiratory physiotherapists can talk your patient through strategies to help with breathlessness. Our helpline healthcare advisors are also on hand to help with practical aspects of living with breathlessness, such as benefits for patients and carers, getting a blue badge, and aids to use around the home.
Some patients with COPD find hand held fans helpful to reduce the sensation of breathlessness.
All our breathing techniques and tips can be found in our Breathlessness, COPD Self Management Plan and My Keep Active booklets.
