Are You At Risk for COPD?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of illness and the fourth leading cause of death. However, many people dont realize they have the disease.
Do you cough several times most days? Do you bring up phlegm or mucus most days? Do you get out of breath more easily than others your age? Are you over 40 years old? Are you a current smoker or an ex-smoker?
If you answer yes to three or more of the above questions, you may be at risk for COPD. To make an appointment, call toll-free 1.877.UT.CARES (1.877.882.2737) or email hcc@mc.utmck.edu. |
