COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung condition that impairs airflow. COPD includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, resulting in breathlessness, coughing, and wheezing. Smoking is a primary cause, but exposure to pollutants can also contribute. COPD management involves medication, lifestyle changes, and pulmonary rehabilitation to improve quality of life.
