EPOC: qué es y su tratamiento

More info: http://www.telemadrid.es/madridcontig... Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, known as COPD, is a condition caused by narrowing of the bronchi, which become inflamed and accumulate mucus, causing coughing, breathing difficulties, and, in the worst cases, lung damage. It affects 2 million people in Spain and is an incurable disease, although it has good treatment prospects. The main cause is smoking, so quitting the habit, performing specific breathing exercises, maintaining a balanced diet, and regular physical activity are factors to consider, along with the appropriate medical treatment, to maintain a good quality of life.
