- What is COPD (computational obstructive pulmonary disorder)?COPD is basically an umbrella term for several progressive lung illnesses. COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, both of which can cause difficulty breathing. COPD diagnosis indicates that you might have one of the following lung-damaging ailments or symptoms: # Symptoms of COPD The most common disease among people who have COPD is asthma. People with COPD often have problems breathing and wheezing due to inflammation of the airways. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can also lead to the development of tuberculosis or other diseases. # The Common Signs And Symptoms Of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseTwo other respiratory diseases commonly found among people with COPD are tuberculosis and rhinitis. In addition, bronchitis, emphysema,and chronic bronchitis can also be symptoms. An increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood is what causes emphysema. Other causes include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease caused by inflammation of the lung tissues.Chronic bronchitis causes inflammation of the air sacs or alveoli Other causes include tuberculosis and infection. An obstruction in the respiratory tract causes wheezing or coughing. This can actually occur with any kind of illness. However, there are several different things that cause these symptoms. The most common one is being overweight.Other things that can cause this disease include smoking; viruses, fungi, and bacteria. A respiratory infection may also be the cause of wheezing.# When to see a doctor?Smoking causes the blocking or narrowing of the airways. Therefore, the air cannot pass through properly and thus causing shortness of breath and chest pains. Furthermore, lung cancer is one of the major causes of breathing difficulties. Lung cancer is linked to genetic disorder alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, which is the cause of emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Smokers who do not have this genetic disorder will still be prone to developing respiratory infections. # Causes of airway obstruction Cigarette smoking is the major cause of shortness of breath and chest pains. Many individuals with these conditions also have difficulty breathing when they are awake. Even if you do not suffer from shortness of breath or chest pains,having cigarette smoking increases your chance of getting pneumonia and other lung diseases. Smoking causes various changes to the lining of the lungs, the lining of the stomach and the lining of the mouth. The smokers' lungs are more likely to become damaged because the lining will absorb the substances of the smoke. # Treatment of COPD Lung Stem cell therapy will offer a greater chance of reversing tuberculosis and lung damage. They will also experience damage to the blood cells . If a person does not smoke but is exposed to cigarette smoke, the risk of getting cancer is increased by a factor of three times. In addition, smokers develop copd through inhalation of the irritants in cigarette smoke. Thus, they can develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease even if they do not have the disease already. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can develop if the sufferer does not quit smoking.Lung Stem cell therapy will offer a greater chance of reversing tuberculosis and lung damage
