chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd)

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disorder characterized by decreased airflow and chronic inflammation, typically caused by exposure to irritants like smoking or pollution. It leads to symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing, and may result in long-term damage to the lungs. COPD is often a chronic and debilitating condition that requires ongoing management to control symptoms and improve quality of life.
