June 4, 2018 – According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
in 2014 over 15 million people reported being diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and more than 50 percent of adults with low
pulmonary function were not aware that they had COPD. Could you be one
of those millions? During this month’s Health Chat Webinar,
Herman Levy, M.D.,
Southeast Georgia Physician Associates-Pulmonary Medicine, presents “Long-Term Effects of COPD” to help people better
understand COPD, its comorbidities, symptoms and treatments.
“During this presentation, we will discuss the diseases classified
under COPD, including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, non-reversible asthma
and bronchiectasis,” says Levy, “as well as common treatments
and tests, signs and symptoms.”
