What to do if i have been diagnoised with copd / chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can anyone tell me about it am 48 yr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COPD...: COPD is a slowly progressive lung disease usually caused by smoking. Quitting smoking is essential to slowing the disease progression. Treatment usually involves bronchodilator and steroid inhalers to alleviate symptoms. If your oxygen level is low enough, supplemental oxygen therapy will also slow disease progression. See a lung doctor for both diagnosis and treatment.
