Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an
ongoing and progressive respiratory ailment marked by persistent limitations in
airflow. Key manifestations encompass breathing challenges, coughing,
heightened mucus production, and diminished exercise capacity. Extended
exposure to harmful gases or particulate matter, predominantly linked to
cigarette smoke, is a common precursor to the onset of lung
cancer.
