Research Notes on COPD Symptoms
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease comprised of two conditions – chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This disease causes breathing difficulty due to long-term, typically irreversible damage of the lungs. Signs and symptoms commonly include persistent cough, increased phlegm, dyspnea (shortness of breath), wheezing, chest tightness, and frequent respiratory infections. Once symptoms begin, consulting a health professional is advised to prevent worsening of the condition and to decrease risk of associated complications.
