    COPD has no cure yet, and doctors don't know how to reverse the damage to the airways and lungs. However, treatments and lifestyle changes can help you feel better, stay more active, and slow the progress of the disease.

    Not that I know of. There is treatment for it. I know a whole family with it, even the kids. No one wants to get treatment.

    IS THE TREATMENT EFFECTIVE,EGGY,???DEN,

    /COAD...chronic obstructive COPDairways diseases.../or P..pulmonary/lung can as Ed1530 be controlled/stabilized by lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking,gentle exercise,healthy diet and adequate fluids...it is often treated by GP with nebulisers eg VENTOLIN regularly to open the airways so that more Oxygen reaches the lungs and circulates the body..antibios if infection in lungs,which copd suffers are often more prone to!...pysiotheraoists often teach breathing and coughing exercises...coughing to help loosen the chest and bring up the mucus that also blocks your breathing properly and leg exercises if the condition is so debilitating that the patient doesnt mobilise much..to prevent DVT AND BLOOD CLOTS/Pulmonary embolism traveling to the lung..STEROIDS ARE OFTEN PRESCRIBED to reduce inflammation and O2 in extreme cases.


    PREVENTION IN THIS CASE BY A REASONABLY HEALTHY LIFE STYLE IS THE BEST ANSWER TO THIS NASTY DEBILITATING DISEASE...GOODLUCK..MILLIE

    The best thing that can happen is to control the symptoms.

    Stop smoking
