Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease that causes difficulty in breathing due to long-term exposure to irritants that damage the lungs. Common causes include cigarette smoke, air pollution, and workplace chemicals, along with genetic factors, respiratory infections, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, chronic cough with mucus, and frequent respiratory infections. Prevention involves avoiding irritants, quitting smoking, avoiding secondhand smoke and air pollution, wearing protective equipment at work, and regular check-ups with a healthcare provider. Treatment plans for COPD may include medication, pulmonary rehabilitation programs, and regular vaccinations.
