Many people assume that getting breathless during everyday activities is simply ageing, lack of fitness, or the effect of smoking. In reality, these symptoms may be early signs of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or Emphysema.
COPD is a progressive lung condition that causes airflow obstruction, making it difficult to breathe normally. It commonly includes chronic bronchitis — persistent inflammation of the airways leading to cough and mucus — and emphysema, where damage to the air sacs reduces the lungs' ability to exchange oxygen. Many patients have a combination of both.
At Healthy Chest & Sleep Clinic, Dr. Vishal Sharma provides comprehensive evaluation and personalised management plans for patients living with COPD and other chronic lung diseases.
