COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. It comprises chronic bronchitis and emphysema. While COPD is a long-term and progressive condition, it is highly treatable. With proper management, most people with COPD can achieve good symptom control and a high quality of life.

Watch for these key indicators or warning signs:

  • Increased shortness of breath, especially during physical activities
  • Wheezing and tightness in the chest
  • A chronic cough that produces clear, white, yellow, or greenish mucus
  • Frequent respiratory infections and lack of energy

Root Causes & Risk Factors

Common factors that trigger or aggravate this condition:

  • Tobacco Smoking: The vast majority of COPD cases are caused by long-term cigarette smoking.
  • Environmental Exposure: Long-term exposure to second-hand smoke, chemical fumes, vapours, and dusts.
  • Genetic Factors: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that can cause COPD.
