Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory condition that obstructs airflow and makes breathing increasingly difficult. Dr. Shivanshu Goyal, a leading pulmonologist in Gurgaon/Delhi, specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of COPD, offering patients personalized care to improve their quality of life.
What is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)?
COPD is a group of lung diseases, primarily chronic bronchitis and emphysema, that cause long-term breathing problems. It is often caused by prolonged exposure to irritants, including cigarette smoke, air pollution, or workplace chemicals.
In COPD, the airways become inflamed and narrowed, and the lung tissues responsible for oxygen exchange are damaged. This results in persistent symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and excessive mucus production.
Symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Persistent cough with mucus
- Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity
- Wheezing and tightness in the chest
