Asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) are distinct respiratory conditions, primarily due to their underlying causes and pathophysiology. Asthma is often characterized by reversible airway obstruction, inflammation, and hyperreactivity, typically triggered by allergens or irritants. In contrast, COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is primarily caused by long-term exposure to harmful substances, such as cigarette smoke, and involves irreversible airway obstruction. While both conditions can cause similar symptoms, their treatment and management strategies differ significantly.
