The COPD is a chronic disease that is directly related to two factors, smoking, and chronic bronchitis, and can worsen without proper treatment, reducing quality of life.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of a group of lung diseases which block the flow of air, making breathing difficult. It is a slow disease, which usually starts with a slight lack of air associated with efforts such as climbing stairs, walking fast or play sports. The recommendation of the medical society is to consult a pulmonologist for exams when they have respiratory symptoms.
