COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Most COPD patients have both.
- In Chronic Bronchitis, airflow may be limited by narrowed airways that get tight, swollen, and filled with mucus. These changes limit airflow into and out of the lungs.
- In Emphysema, the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs are damaged. Like old balloons, they get overstretched. They break down. Old air gets trapped in the air sacs. So there’s no room for new air to get in.
COPD can affect your life as early as your 40s. Millions of people have COPD, both men and women.
How does COPD progress?
A leading cause of disability and death, COPD starts with breathlessness that gets worse over time. COPD gradually causes patients to become less and less active.
