Understanding Asthma and COPD

Asthma is a condition where airways tighten and swell, often triggered by allergens or exercise. COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, is usually caused by long-term lung irritation. Both require ongoing monitoring and treatment to prevent serious complications.
