A leading expert answers your questions about how to live to your
fullest with COPD. Significant lung damage from smoking, exposure
in some jobs, or even diseases such as AIDS and tuberculosis can
lead to COPD. Having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can
leave you feeling short of breath, sometimes reluctant to go
shopping or for a walk because you are afraid of more difficulties.
You may have wheezing, tightness in the chest, or frequent
coughing. Although you see a doctor for your COPD, you often have
questions and need answers. In this concise and practical guide,
leading medical expert Donald A. Mahler answers some of the most
pressing questions that he has been asked over 30 years of seeing
patients with COPD, including * Why am I short of breath? * What
medications can treat my COPD? * Can surgery improve COPD? * What
are flare-ups-and how can I prevent them? * How can I stop smoking?
* What should I do if my breathing isn't getting better? * Can
exercise help? If so, which exercises are the most beneficial? *
What's the best way to prevent lung infections? * How does COVID-19
affect COPD? * How can I travel with oxygen? * Can I be sexually
active with COPD? and much more. Each chapter includes a patient
vignette and key points. Tables and boxes offering helpful tips are
included throughout. Providing up-to-date, evidence-based content
that covers more than just medications, COPD gives you the tools
you need to keep active-and thrive.
