Tips To Help You Avoid Developing COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) refers to various chronic lung diseases. Diseases including asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, etc., have symptoms like increased breathlessness, dry coughing, wheezing, and the feeling of tightness in the chest. There are environmental, genetic and behavioral factors that cause COPD. Environments that have extensive amounts of dust, or fumes and chemical-filled environments encourage the disease.
