It's not just another flare up

Exacerbations, or 'flare-ups', can be common occurrences for some individuals with COPD. These are periods when breathing can be difficult, physical activity is harder and inhalers need to be taken more frequently. They may also require admission to hospital. People with COPD must know these are not normal, and they need to seek help promptly. 

Part of the Challenging the Perceptions of COPD campaign, this animation provides a concise guide to helping people with COPD to understand that 'flare-ups' of their COPD are not normal and they need to seek help.
