Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a long-term respiratory condition affecting airflow through the lungs. It manifests through persistent cough, excess mucus, breathlessness, and reduced exertion tolerance during everyday activities.
COPD symptoms tend to develop gradually and may become more noticeable during physical exertion or respiratory infections. Structured evaluation and personalized treatment help manage symptoms effectively.
