According to the\u00a0American Lung Association<\/a>, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) – which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema – is a chronic lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. It is also the third leading cause of death in the United States. Patients in Staten Island<\/a> can find relief.<\/p>\n

Sufferers of COPD compare breathing to pinching your nose while sucking air through a straw. A coffee stirrer, to be exact. Imagine going through your daily activities like that. Getting dressed, cooking a meal, or simply bathing becomes daunting.\u00a0The difficulty of breathing for patients with COPD worsens over time, limiting daily activities.<\/p>\n

Causes and Risks Factors<\/h3>\n

People who smoke or are exposed to smoking as well as those with extended exposure to dust, air pollution and certain chemicals are more likely to develop COPD. Furthermore, those with asthma and the gene alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT) are more at risk of contracting the disease. Because COPD is a result of lengthy exposure, sufferers of the disease tend to be over 40.<\/p>\n
