It’s World COPD Day. A reminder to pause and pay attention to your breathing.

Your lungs speak, but not always with words. Sometimes they speak through:
- A cough that never goes away
- Breathlessness during simple tasks
- Constant fatigue
- Frequent chest infections

On this day, let’s remember that COPD often develops silently, and many ignore the early signs thinking it's just age, stress, or weather change. Your lungs are always working for you - make sure you’re working for them too.
