💙November is COPD Awareness Month!
This month, we are raising awareness for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - a long-term lung condition that includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
It's one of the leading causes of illness worldwide, yet many people don't realize they have it until symptoms become serious.
Early detection and consistent management make all the difference.
COPD causes inflammation and damage in the airways, which makes it harder to move air in and out of the lungs. Over time, this can lead to fatigue, coughing, shortness of breath, and frequent respiratory infections.
🫁Common warning signs:
* Persistent cough with mucus
* Shortness of breath during daily activities
* Wheezing or chest tightness
* Frequent colds or respiratory infections
💨Our clinic offers Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) -
a simple, non-invasive way to measure how well your lungs are working. This test helps detect COPD early, track progression, and guide your treatment plan.
😃Long-term management focuses on:
* Quitting smoking (if applicable)
* Staying up to date on flu and phnemonia vaccines
* Following prescribed medications or inhalers
* Regular lung function check-ups
* Staying active with safe, doctor-approved exercise
COPD can't be cured, but with the right care and early monitoring, it can be managed - helping you breathe easier and maintain your quality of life.
💙 Schedule your Pulmonary Function Test today and take the first step toward protecting your lungs for the lung run.
