COPD is a progressive lung disease that makes breathing difficult. It encompasses conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which are characterized by airflow limitation and persistent respiratory symptoms.
Living with COPD can be quite challenging for both patients and their caregivers. COPD symptoms range from shortness of breath and coughing to fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance, greatly affecting daily life. In this episode of COPD, we will discuss various strategies to manage these symptoms. These include adhering to medication, participating in pulmonary rehabilitation, using oxygen therapy, and making lifestyle modifications.
Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr. Pradeep Kiran Panchadi - Interventional Pulmonologist, Specialist in Bronchoscopy and EBUS to discuss the pathophysiology of COPD, risk factors, and the importance of early detection and management in improving outcomes for individuals living with this chronic condition.
