COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It causes airflow limitation, leading to symptoms such as persistent cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and fatigue. COPD is most commonly caused by smoking, long-term exposure to pollutants, or genetic conditions like Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
