Feeling persistently short of breath, or noticing a cough that just won't quit?
These could be signs of common lung conditions like COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
COPD is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe, often including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Early detection and lifestyle changes are key to managing it effectively and slowing its progression!
Here are a few quick tips for maintaining great lung health:
๐ญ Quit Smoking: This is the single most important action you can take. Your lungs start to repair themselves the moment you stop.
๐ฌ๏ธ Minimize Exposure: Avoid secondhand smoke and limit exposure to workplace dust, fumes, and air pollution.
๐ Stay Active: Regular, moderate exercise can strengthen your respiratory muscles and improve your overall lung capacity.
โ๏ธ Know the Symptoms: A persistent cough, shortness of breath during daily activities, and frequent respiratory infections are red flags.
Don't wait for a persistent cough to become a serious concern. Taking control of your lung health now is an investment in your future.
