How Can You Tell What Stage COPD You Are In? Cannot Afford To See A Pulmonary Doctor.

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭
Spotsylvania, VA

I haven't has a pulmonary doctor for about 3 years now I guess. Just wondering how besides the 6 minute walk test they give you if there is anything else I can do at home to see what stage I'm in. I cannot afford to buy insurance and I cannot afford the medicare premium. I have 3 more months of spirivia left then that's it cannot afford $500 plus a month to buy it.

Write to the company or talk to your pharmacist if there is any plan that can help you
