Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
This is a lung disease that can make it very hard to breathe.  
This is usually caused by smoking.

COPD can be a combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
  • Chronic bronchitis: The bronchial tubes get inflamed and produce a lot of mucus.  This will narrow or even block the airways which will make it hard for you to breathe.
  • Emphysema: The air sacs become damaged making it harder to move air in and out.  This causes you to feel short of breath.
​COPD is almost always caused by smoking.  This condition can worsen with time.  Steps should be taken to prevent more damage to your lungs.
