With COPD, breathing can be difficult. Living life doesn’t have to be.
COPD is estimated to affect more than 210 million people worldwide and as the fourth leading cause of death and is becoming more prevalent every day 2. But through education, engagement, and empowerment we can help those affected by the disease live a fulfilling life.
What is COPD?
COPD covers a number of progressive lung conditions that makes breathing difficult, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke is the main cause of COPD. Apart from inhaling smoke, air pollution, chemical fumes and dust from the environment or workplace can also cause COPD.
What Are the Symptoms of COPD?
The first sign of COPD is a chronic cough that lasts for several weeks without the presence of cold or flu. The cough is worse in the morning and gets agravated by exercise or smoke.
Other symptoms include:
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing
- Tightness in the chest
- Increased mucus (phlegm) production
What Causes COPD?
The main cause of COPD is prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke, especially if the smoke is inhaled. Breathing in secondhand smoke, air pollution, chemical fumes or dust from the workplace also can cause the COPD.
These inhaled particles can cause the mucus glands that line the bronchi to produce more mucus than normal. In addition, the inflammation that they trigger causes the walls of the bronchi to thicken and swell. Environmental factors and genetics may also play a part in the development of COPD.
