Asthma/COPD
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are chronic respiratory conditions that significantly impact a person’s breathing and quality of life.
Asthma is a condition in which the airways become inflamed and narrow, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. These symptoms can vary in severity and are often triggered by allergens, exercise, cold air, or respiratory infections.
COPD is a group of progressive lung diseases, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. Symptoms of COPD include persistent cough, mucus production, shortness of breath, and frequent respiratory infections. Smoking is the primary cause of COPD, but long-term exposure to other lung irritants such as air pollution and chemical fumes can also contribute.
