COPD

What is COPD ?


COPD, also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is basically a group of lung conditions that damages the air passageway or lungs making it difficult to breathe for an individual. Excessive production of mucus and emphysema (destruction of lungs tissues) produce shortness of breath, whistling sound, barrel shaped chest and bluish skin in affected persons. Initially symptoms are mild but get worse as time passes. Serious conditions may disturb your daily life activities such as running or cooking meals. Middle aged and older adults who smoke are at higher risk to get it as smoking is a major cause of COPD
