If COPD is holding you back, it may be time to rethink your approach to managing your disease. Understanding your COPD symptoms may allow you to manage your expectations for each new day. The Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) is a good place to begin.
The CCQ is designed to help evaluate your COPD symptoms and how they may be affecting your daily activities. Once you complete the questionnaire, be sure to print out your responses and share them with your doctor during your next visit.
This questionnaire is not a substitute for a health care provider’s judgment, diagnosis, or advice. Rather, it is intended to help you and your doctor get a better understanding of the severity of your COPD symptoms and create a COPD treatment program to help you better manage your disease.
The information you provide about yourself on this questionnaire is not stored or used in any way by AstraZeneca or any other party. This is your information to share with your doctor.
