Most of us hear a lot about lung cancer but there is another debilitating lung disease impacting millions of Americans...COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). COPD is actually an umbrella term used to describe a host of lung disease such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, non-reversible asthma, and other condition where areas of the bronchial tubes are permanently and abnormally widened and infected.
