COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a long-term lung condition that obstructs airflow and makes breathing difficult. It typically includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema and is most often caused by smoking or long-term exposure to lung irritants. While COPD has no cure, symptoms can be managed with medication, oxygen therapy, and lifestyle changes.
