🫁 COPD is more than just breathing difficulties - it’s a serious condition that can affect your lung health and overall wellbeing.
In 2020, a study in Thorax found:
- People with COPD who never smoked had 2.6 times the risk of developing lung cancer compared to people without COPD.
- People with COPD who have smoked had more than 6 times the risk
This is one of the many reasons why early detection and management are vital for health. At Manse Medical, our specialists help patients detect COPD early, monitor their lungs, and manage risks. If you notice shortness of breath, a chronic cough, or other breathing issues, speak with a respiratory specialist today.
