Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Pulmonary Hypertension

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that makes it hard to breathe due to narrowed air passages, often caused by smoking or long-term exposure to pollutants. Symptoms include cough, mucus production, and breathlessness. Pulmonary Hypertension is high blood pressure in the lungs' blood vessels, leading to strain on the heart and symptoms like fatigue, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Both conditions are serious and can significantly affect quality of life, but they can be managed with treatment and lifestyle changes.
