I suffer from COPD
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a chronic lung disease that causes a narrowing of the airways. This makes breathing more difficult and can significantly limit your daily activities. COPD is a progressive condition, which means that the symptoms can worsen over time. However, with the right guidance, such as physiotherapy, you can learn to better manage the symptoms and improve your condition.

What could be wrong?
COPD is usually caused by long-term exposure to harmful substances, such as cigarette smoke or air pollution. The disease has two main forms:
Chronic bronchitis:
Persistent inflammation of the airways, leading to increased mucus and coughing.
Pulmonary emphysema:
Damage to the alveoli, which reduces oxygen absorption.
COPD cannot be cured, but with the right treatment you can manage the symptoms and improve your quality of life.
