Rescue Your Energy

R. Deepa, S. Parimala

Abstract


Work simplification and energy conservation principles will allow you to remain independent and be less frustrated by our illness when the energy you have lasts throughout the day. Dyspnea is the symptom which is experienced by respiratory disorder patients. They feel discomfort in daily activities with strain. Conserving energy will help COPD patients to have more energy to do more activities during the day. Patients may become progressively dependent as their activity tolerance deteriorates in time. “The most important energy conservationtips is to listen to your body. Take rest with plan”
