Research Notes on COPD and Chronic Cough
One of the most noticeable first signs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic cough. The cough usually appears only in the mornings and during winter months. Once the disease has progressed, the chronic coughing will persist throughout the day and year. Most people mistakenly think the chronic cough they are experiencing is a "smoker's cough."
Fast Facts:
- Chronic coughing is accompanied by mucus that increases as the disease progresses.
- COPD symptoms usually surface around the age of 40, which leads to some thinking the cough is the result of getting older.
- Other symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath and bluish skin color.
