Chest Disease
Chest disease, also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a common respiratory disease that affects the airways of the lungs. It is a progressive lung disease that can cause breathing difficulties, coughing, and even shortness of breath. The exact cause of COPD is not known, but it is often associated with genetic and environmental factors. COPD can be diagnosed through various tests, such as spirometry, chest X-ray, and CT scan. Once diagnosed, COPD can be treated and managed through lifestyle modifications, such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising regularly. Additionally, COPD patients may also be prescribed medication to help manage their symptoms. It is important to note that COPD is a chronic disease, and its symptoms can worsen over time if left untreated. Therefore, it is crucial for COPD patients to follow a treatment plan and regularly seek medical attention to manage their condition.
