C.O.P.D. Health (Question #2)

C.O.P.D which stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a lung disease that causes a blockage or narrowing of the airways, the tubes in your lungs that air flows through. This results in a decrease in the flow of air, both in and out of your lungs. The disease has a slow, progressive course and is irreversible.

The Hallmark symptoms of COPD include:

•Breathlessness with any type of activity
