Could worsening air quality be triggering more COPD flare-ups?
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients experience worsened symptoms and flare-ups due to poor air quality, particularly from particulate matter. Managing COPD involves minimizing exposure to triggers like air pollution, using protective measures, and following medical advice. Staying informed about air quality and getting vaccinated are crucial for effective management and prevention of complications.
