World COPD Day, observed each November, is dedicated to raising awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and supporting those affected by this chronic respiratory condition. At Neighborhood Medical Center in Dallas, TX, we’re committed to educating our community about COPD symptoms, prevention, and management.
COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, makes it difficult to breathe due to airflow blockage. Common symptoms are chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and frequent respiratory infections. Smoking is a major risk factor, but long-term exposure to pollutants can also contribute to COPD.
Our team provides resources and treatments tailored to COPD management, including breathing exercises, lifestyle advice, and medications. This World COPD Day, take steps toward respiratory health by scheduling a consultation at Neighborhood Medical Center. Together, we can help you breathe easier and improve your quality of life.
