What is COPD?

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, persistent cough, increased mucus (sputum) production, and wheezing. COPD often results from years of exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, or occupational dust and chemicals.

People living with COPD may also be at a higher risk for complications like heart disease, lung cancer, and other serious health issues.

Common Types of COPD

The two primary forms of COPD are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Many individuals experience both conditions at the same time, but symptoms can vary:

Chronic Bronchitis: Involves ongoing inflammation of the bronchial tubes that carry air to and from the lungs. It is typically marked by a daily cough and ongoing mucus production.

Emphysema: Damages the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs, reducing their elasticity and ability to transfer oxygen. This usually occurs after long-term exposure to harmful substances, such as cigarette smoke or air pollutants.

Living Well with COPD

While COPD is a progressive disease that can worsen over time, it is treatable. With expert care and a personalized management plan from a specialist like Dr. Rajeev Narang – leading Chest Physician and Pulmonologist in Jaipur—many people with COPD are able to effectively control their symptoms, enjoy better quality of life, and reduce their risk of further complications.
