Two conditions make up what we commonly refer to as COPD: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Emphysema damages the air sacs in the lungs, causing shortness of breath. Chronic bronchitis is very similar, and also impairs breathing ability. Other conditions grouped under the COPD umbrella include non-reversible asthma and some forms of bronchiectasis, a condition defined by the widening, stretching, and scarring of the airways in the lungs. #COPD #BreathingDisability #Bronchitis #LungDiseases #ZydusHospitals #Ahmedabad
