Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are respiratory conditions that affect millions worldwide.

Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the airways, leading to recurrent episodes of wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness.

COPD, comprising chronic bronchitis and emphysema, involves progressive damage to the air sacs in the lungs and airway obstruction.

Both conditions can significantly impact quality of life and require long-term management.

While asthma often starts in childhood and can be triggered by allergens or irritants, COPD is primarily caused by long-term exposure to harmful particles like cigarette smoke.

Early diagnosis, proper medication, and lifestyle modifications are crucial in managing these conditions and preventing exacerbations.
