What's the Difference Between Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)?

^{Published on 2025-03-28 06:23:45 - Health}

Medically reviewed by Sanja Jelic, MD Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are chronic respiratory (lung) diseases that cause breathing difficulty and coughing. Asthma affects about 28 million people in the United States.

The article from MSN discusses the differences between asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Asthma is characterized by intermittent airway inflammation and narrowing, often triggered by allergens or irritants, leading to reversible airflow obstruction. It typically starts in childhood but can occur at any age. Conversely, COPD is a progressive condition primarily caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke, leading to irreversible lung damage. COPD includes conditions like emphysema and chronic bronchitis, where the airways and air sacs lose their elasticity, and there's an increase in mucus production, obstructing airflow. While asthma can be controlled with medications to manage symptoms, COPD management focuses on slowing disease progression and improving quality of life, with treatments like bronchodilators, steroids, and lifestyle changes. The article also notes that some individuals might have both conditions, known as asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS), which complicates diagnosis and treatment.
