Detailed explanation-1: -COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a progressive disease, which means it gets worse over time. With COPD, less air flows in and out of the airways, making it hard to breathe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing. It’s typically caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer and a variety of other conditions.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, COPD progresses gradually-symptoms first present as mild to moderate and slowly worsen over time. Often, patients live with mild COPD for several decades before the disease progresses to moderate or severe.
Detailed explanation-4: -Frequent coughing or wheezing. Excess phlegm or sputum. Shortness of breath. Trouble taking a deep breath.
