Thanks for your question on HCM.
COPD (chronic Obstructive airway disease) is chronic,progressive disease. It is incurable.
Once a COPD patient always a COPD patient.
We have to control it and stop the progression of the disease. So all the treatment is directed on 2 strategy only.
1. Prevention of COPD.
2. Hold the progression of COPD.
So follow these steps for better management of COPD.
1. Avoid smoking if you are smoker
2. Take your inhaler medicines regularly.
3. Enroll your self in pulmonary rehabilitation center where chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercises are done.
4. Take adult pulmonary vaccines like pneumpcoccal and h.influenza to prevent future lung infection.
