Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been told I have COPD, in my lower lungs, but really no information how it is going to affect me - is there anything I can do to stop it or keep it from spreading. Is it necessary that I use the inhaler and will that clear it up, or is there no cure.
Cops includes mainly two conditions, a chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Both are having different treatment and that causes irreversible bronchial obstruction.
There is no cure. Avoid smoking and take medicines regularly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
