What lung damage looks like at each stage and the signs you shouldn’t ignore: Healthy Lungs Clear, pink, functioning efficiently. Feels like: Smooth breathing, good stamina, no chronic cough. Irritation & Inflammation Often triggered by smoke, dust, pollution, or infections. Signs: Mild breathlessness, chest tightness, light cough, throat clearing, occasional wheeze. Chronic Damage (early COPD) Airways narrow, mucus builds up. Signs: Daily cough, excess phlegm, breathless during normal activities, low stamina, frequent infections. Severe Damage (advanced/emphysema) Air sacs break down → lower oxygen levels. Signs: Breathless even at rest, bluish lips, extreme fatigue, heavy mucus, persistent wheeze, weight loss. #LungHealth #BreathingMatters #RespiratoryHealth #COPD #HealthyLungs #LungDamageAwareness #WellnessTips #HealthEducation #StayInformed #PulmonaryHealth #EarlyDetection #MedicalAwareness #Healthy
