Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) makes it difficult to breathe. The disease worsens with time and causes symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and a cough that produces a lot of mucus. One of the major causes of COPD is smoking cigarettes, but it can also develop in people who are routinely exposed to dust, chemical fumes, or other pollutants. It is important to see a provider regularly if you have COPD. If you do not have a provider to coordinate your care, one of our compassionate providers can help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Regular medical care can help you avoid serious COPD complications, so make a reservation today. At Physicians Now, our providers and staff members value your time. We offer an affordable alternative to spending hours in the emergency room or waiting weeks or months to see a provider.
