COPD
COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It includes a number of common conditions, including chronic bronchitis, emphysema and small airways disease, all of which make it harder for people to breathe.
Causes
The most common cause of COPD is Smoking. Ex-smokers are also at risk of developing COPD. Once you give up smoking, you gradually reduce the chances of getting COPD or slow its progression if you already have it.
- Occupation such as Mining
- Inherited problems
- Pollution.
Symptoms of COPD
Chronic persistent cough
Coughing up lots of sputum is the main symptom
Shortness of breath might suggest COPD. In mild cases, the shortness of breath may be present only during winter months. In more severe cases, shortness of breath may occur every day
You may feel breathless during routine everyday exercise.
Diagnosis of COPD
The best way to confirm the diagnosis is through Spirometry. This will indicate whether your airways have narrowed. If the COPD is severe, then, other more detailed tests, such as a CT scan or Blood Gas analysis (ABG) may be required.
Treatment
Treatment includes lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes oxygen therapy or surgery in severe cases.
