COPD: We should not let it take our breath away!
COPD affects both smokers and those exposed to biomass fuel. These patients can experience shortness of breath, wheezing, and chronic cough. Though there is No cure, but treatment can manage symptoms and slow down the disease progression. We can stay on top of this condition with:
- Smoking cessation
- Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans
- Personalized care for these patients, including pulmonary function tests, medication management, oxygen therapy, and rehabilitation programs.
While we celebrate COPD Day every year globally, the true success lies in its practical application, including:
- Increased awareness and understanding of COPD among the general public
- Improved access to diagnosis and treatment for those in need
- Enhanced support systems for patients and caregivers
- Advancements in research and development of new treatments
- Improved quality of life for those affected by COPD.
