Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a type of illness that affects your lung health over time. Because of this, COPD causes air sacs to become less elastic, making it difficult to take in air. Additionally, the walls between air sacs become destroyed, making them thick and inflamed. Due to this damage, the body produces more mucus, which can ultimately lead to airways becoming more clogged.
The most common risk factors that can result in COPD are smoking, long-term exposure to lung irritants, age, genetics, and asthma.
If you or a senior loved one are living with COPD, we suggest receiving personalized care to reduce stress at home. GENUINE HOME CARE AGENCY offers private pay home and hospice care in Colorado that helps senior clients manage their COPD better.
