COPD is the shared name for long-term lung conditions that make breathing difficult. Two patterns are usually described: emphysema, damage to the air sacs, and chronic bronchitis, persistent inflammation of the airways. The injury to the lungs cannot be undone, but treatment slows how fast the disease advances and helps keep breathing steadier day to day.

Tobacco smoke is the dominant cause worldwide. Smoke from indoor cooking fires using wood, coal or crop residue is another recognised contributor, as is polluted air in dense cities. Dust and fumes at work, in manufacturing and construction for instance, also play a part.
Changes usually accumulate over years. A cough that brings up phlegm, breathlessness that appears first during activity, wheezing and chest tightness are typical, and chest infections recur more often. Because the shift is gradual, many people put it down to ageing or a long-standing smoker’s cough, and diagnosis is delayed. A flare-up means sudden worse breathlessness with more mucus, sometimes with fever; these episodes speed the decline in lung function.
Inhalers do most of the work. Salbutamol, as Ventolin Inhaler, relieves breathlessness quickly. Longer-acting bronchodilators such as salmeterol and tiotropium keep airways open through the day; Tiotropium Inhaler is one option. Inhaled corticosteroids (budesonide, fluticasone) reduce inflammation and are often combined with a long-acting bronchodilator in a single device: Seroflo Inhaler, Fluticasone + Salmeterol and Budesonide + Formoterol Inhaler all pair the two. Pulmonary rehabilitation, a supervised programme of exercise and education, improves daily function beyond what medicines alone achieve. Surgery or transplant applies to very few people.
