Breathing is automatic—until it isn’t.
On World COPD Day (November 20, 2025), SRS Multispecialty Hospital joins the global movement to raise awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)—a progressive lung disease that affects over 55 million people worldwide, yet often goes undiagnosed until it’s too late.
In urban centers like Noida, where air pollution, sedentary indoor lifestyles, and smoking are common, COPD is rising quietly, affecting working professionals, senior citizens, and even non-smokers.
What Is COPD?
COPD is an umbrella term that includes:
- Chronic bronchitis—inflammation of the airway lining
- Emphysema—damage to the air sacs in the lungs
It leads to difficulty breathing, chronic cough, phlegm production, and fatigue, progressively reducing lung function over time.
2025 Global Theme: “Breathing is Life—Act Earlier”
The 2025 campaign encourages early detection, lifestyle change, and public awareness to prevent irreversible lung damage.
At SRS Hospital, we echo this message: Don’t ignore your lungs until they force you to.
Who Is at Risk in Noida?
You may be at risk of developing COPD if you:
- Are 40+ years old, especially if you’re a smoker or ex-smoker
- Work or live in high-pollution zones like Noida, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad
- Have a history of chronic cough, breathlessness, or wheezing
- Experience fatigue after climbing stairs or walking short distances
- Have frequent respiratory infections or long-lasting colds
It’s not just a “smoker’s disease” anymore. Increasingly, non-smokers with long-term exposure to air pollution are being diagnosed with early-stage COPD.
Common Symptoms of COPD
- Persistent cough lasting more than 8 weeks
- Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity
- Wheezing or tightness in the chest
- Excess mucus or phlegm production
- Frequent colds that take longer to recover
- Unexplained fatigue or weakness

A Word from Our Pulmonologist
“COPD doesn’t come overnight—it creeps in silently. Most of our patients ignored the signs for years. But the earlier we catch it, the better the outcome. You don’t need to struggle to breathe. Help is available.”
