COPD attacks the lungs in several ways that can cause dramatic and life-changing damage, including:
- Destroying the needed elasticity of lung tissues like alveoli and bronchioles. Alveoli expand when filling with air. The walls of the alveoli can tear. This diminishes the surface area of the lungs thereby reducing the surface area where oxygen can enter the bloodstream.
- Thickening of lung tissue reduces that needed elasticity.
- Excess mucus production builds up and cuts down on the effectiveness of each breath.
If you are living with COPD, you know the challenges it presents. A skilled attorney can help ensure that you are able to secure the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits you deserve.
