COPD :
COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is a lung disease that causes breathing problems. It is mainly caused by smoking and long-term exposure to air pollutants and occupational dust that causes damage to your lungs. There are also genetic factors like alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency due to which COPD occurs. COPD comprises emphysema and chronic bronchitis in which airways become inflamed and alveoli are damaged. The presenting complaints of COPD include chronic cough with mucous, shortness of breath while performing daily activities, wheezing and fatigue, cyanosis (bluish skin), and chest tightness. This further causes severe lung infections and the risk of lung cancer, too. Although there is no cure for COPD, it can be managed and symptoms can be improved by quitting smoking habits, taking medications as prescribed, oxygen therapy, rehabilitation and making some necessary lifestyle changes, thus improving the quality of life.
