Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of progressive lung diseases that make it difficult to breathe. The two main forms of COPD are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD is usually caused by long-term exposure to harmful substances such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, and occupational dusts and fumes. Symptoms of COPD can include a persistent cough, frequent respiratory infections, shortness of breath, and wheezing. The condition can be diagnosed through a combination of a physical examination, medical history, and lung function tests such as spirometry. There is no cure for COPD, but the condition can be managed through a combination of treatments including medications, oxygen therapy, and lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and avoiding exposure to lung irritants. In severe cases, surgery such as lung volume reduction or lung transplantation may be necessary. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms of COPD, as early diagnosis and treatment can help slow the progression of the disease and improve quality of life.
