Meet Robert
He is a 62-year-old COPD patient being treated with a short-acting bronchodilator agonist therapy (SABA) as required, but is not yet on a maintenance therapy.
Symptoms:
- Breathlessness
- Reduction of usual daily activities
- No features suggestive of asthma or steroid responsiveness
Robert is starting to struggle with climbing stairs and doing household chores. He now watches television instead of going for long walks outside, or dancing with his wife.
