Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and is caused by exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke that damage your lungs and airways over time.

 

[Rida Qayyum]

COPD is the third leading cause of death by disease in the United States. More than 16.4 million people have been diagnosed with COPD, but millions more may have the disease without even knowing it. COPD causes serious long-term disability and early death.

 

[Waleed Zaya]

There are two main forms of COPD: Chronic bronchitis, which involves a long-term cough with mucus. Emphysema, which involves damage to the lungs over time.

The most common signs and symptoms of an oncoming exacerbation are: More coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath than usual. Changes in the color, thickness, or amount of mucus. Feeling tired for more than one day.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease makes it increasingly difficult for a person to breathe. It is not currently possible to cure or reverse the condition completely, but a person can reduce its impact by making some treatment and lifestyle changes.
