World COPD Day 2008
World COPD Day 2008 will take place on November 19 around the theme “Breathless not Helpless!” It is organized by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) and further supported by the International COPD Coalition and WONCA. Featured below is just one of the posters for patients and the public published by GOLD.
What is COPD?
COPD stands for “Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.”
- Chronic means it won’t go away.
- Obstructive means partly blocked.
- Pulmonary means in the lungs.
- Disease means sickness.
COPD is a common lung disease that blocks the airways, making breathing difficult. COPD is usually caused by smoking or exposure to fumes or very dusty places. Symptoms of COPD include coughing, bringing up phlegm or mucus, and getting short of breath.
If you are over 40 and have these symptoms, go see your doctor and ask about COPD! Many people have COPD and don’t know it. Some think their symptoms are just a natural part of the aging process. However, COPD is a life-threatening disease that will get worse if not treated.
A simple breathing test called spirometry can help diagnose COPD. The test is quick, painless, and can often be performed in your doctor’s office.
COPD can be treated! Although there is no cure, doctors can help you feel better and slow damage to your lungs. The earlier a diagnosis is made, the more effective the treatment will be.
COPD can be prevented! If you are a smoker, quitting smoking is the best way to prevent COPD or stop its progression. It is never too late to quit smoking!
