Скачать или смотреть Radio PSA - 60 Seconds - If You Breathe, You Should Know About COPD

"There’s an old saying: 'The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.' But when it comes to COPD, knowing the signs can mean the difference between life and death.

COPD is a chronic lung disease that may be caused by genetics, frequent lung infections, or irritants like smoke, fumes, dust, or chemicals. The most common cause of COPD is cigarette smoke, but anyone can get COPD. Despite being the 3rd leading cause of death worldwide, millions of people have COPD symptoms, but still go undiagnosed.

Wisdom might come with aging, but symptoms like shortness of breath, tightness in your chest, coughing, and wheezing shouldn’t. If you find yourself struggling to keep up with other people your age, or if you get short of breath walking up the stairs, it’s time to talk to your doctor.

COPD does not yet have a cure, but it is treatable. Early diagnosis and proper care can add years of better breathing to your life. For more information, visit COPDfoundation.org. "

Did you know that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects nearly 32 million Americans, yet only half have been diagnosed?

COPD, which includes conditions like emphysema and chronic bronchitis, can cause persistent coughing, fatigue, and shortness of breath. It’s the 6th leading cause of death and the 4th leading cause of disability in the U.S., yet many people don’t realize they’re at risk.

Though smoking is a leading cause of COPD, 25% of those with the disease have never smoked. Other factors, such as exposure to air pollutants, wildfire smoke, occupational hazards, and even genetic predisposition, can also increase risk.

Early diagnosis and proper care can make a significant difference, helping people manage symptoms and live better for many years.

The new PSA from the COPD Foundation raises awareness of COPD, its risk factors, and the importance of early detection. It encourages people to know the signs, talk to their doctor, and seek resources for better lung health.

By airing this PSA, you’ll be helping to improve awareness of COPD and support individuals in breathing easier and living longer.
