Hi sir,
What is the difference between Asthma and COPD? What is the life expectancy of a person with COPD?
Hi Ganesh garu, Asthma and COPD have important similarities and differences. Due to the similar signs and symptoms of COPD and asthma, it is easy to confuse one condition for the other. Both are chronic inflammatory diseases that involve the small airways and cause airflow limitation, both are usually characterized by mucus and bronchoconstriction. COPD usually develops after 40 years of age. Asthma is typically diagnosed during childhood and is common in those with a family history. Asthma patients are more commonly nonsmokers. Most patients with COPD have smoked or had significant secondhand smoke exposure. One main difference is that asthma typically causes attacks of wheezing and tightness in the chest. Coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath are the first symptoms of asthma and COPD. COPD symptoms are generally chronic, usually more constant and can include a cough that brings up phlegm compared to asthma. Homeopathy offers a good supporting role in cases of Asthma and COPD. Homeopathy can control further destruction of the tissues in lungs and increase the airflow to the lungs. Homeopathy can also reduce the need for bronchodilators, cortisone, and antibiotics. Symptomatic relief and prevention of complication are the main achievements by Homeopathy. The aim of Homeopathy is not only to treat COPD symptoms but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility.
