COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a progressive lung disease that makes breathing difficult over time. At Pulmonary Obesity & Sleep Specialists of Houston, we provide expert evaluation and care for individuals living with COPD, helping reduce symptoms, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.
COPD is often caused by long-term exposure to cigarette smoke, air pollution, or occupational irritants. It includes conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Common symptoms include chronic cough, frequent respiratory infections, shortness of breath, and fatigue. If left untreated, COPD can worsen gradually and lead to respiratory failure.
Our team uses pulmonary function tests (PFTs), chest imaging, and oxygen saturation assessments to confirm diagnosis and track disease progression. We also utilize FeNO testing and the 6-minute walk test to evaluate lung function and response to treatment. Based on your condition, we’ll create a customized care plan that may include bronchodilators, corticosteroids, pulmonary rehabilitation, and vaccinations to prevent infections.
We empower our COPD patients with education and support, teaching proper inhaler use, smoking cessation strategies, and breathing exercises to manage flare-ups. For severe cases, we coordinate advanced therapies such as oxygen therapy or referrals for lung volume reduction procedures.
If you or a loved one is experiencing worsening lung symptoms, don’t delay care. Call (281) 652-5864 to schedule your COPD assessment with Houston’s trusted pulmonary experts.
