Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease where airways become inflamed, narrow, and produce excess mucus, leading to wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Treatment involves avoiding triggers, using quick-relief medications for acute attacks, and long-term controller medicines to prevent inflammation and reduce the frequency of attacks. A personalized Asthma Action Plan, developed with a healthcare provider, is crucial for management and includes regular monitoring and lifestyle adjustments like stress management and regular exercise

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common lung condition caused by damage to the lung's airways or other parts. This damage restricts airflow and makes breathing difficult. It is associated with structural lung changes caused by long-term, chronic inflammation from exposure to harmful particles or gases, most frequently cigarette smoke. Chronic inflammation leads to the narrowing of airways and decreased lung recoil. Individuals suffering from COPD may experience lung damage or phlegm formation. The symptoms include tiredness, wheezing, breathing difficulties, and coughing, usually with phlegm. Symptoms may vary from being asymptomatic (no symptoms) to respiratory failure.
