Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) prevents airflow to the lungs causing breathing difficulties. The most common types are emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD primarily occurs due to long-term exposure to irritants like tobacco smoke and air pollutants, leading to inflammation and damage in the lungs. A COPD diagnosis means you may have one of these lung-damaging diseases or symptoms of both. COPD can progress gradually, making it harder to breathe over time.
Symptoms of COPD
- Persistent cough with sputum
- Frequent respiratory infections
- Shortness of breath, especially during physical activities
- Wheezing and chest tightness
- Fatigue
