What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD)?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an umbrella term used to describe a group of long-term lung conditions that cause persistent breathing difficulties. These conditions share a common feature: airflow limitation that is not fully reversible.

The two main conditions included under COPD are:

  • Chronic bronchitis - which involves long-term inflammation of the airways and excess mucus production, leading to cough and frequent chest infections.
  • Emphysema - which involves damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs, reducing the lungs’ ability to exchange oxygen effectively.

Many people with COPD have features of both conditions, and symptoms can vary widely from person to person.

How COPD develops and who it affects

COPD develops gradually, usually after long-term exposure to substances that irritate and damage the lungs. It is an umbrella term that includes conditions such as chronic bronchitis (airway inflammation and mucus buildup) and emphysema (damage to the air sacs in the lungs). Many people experience features of both.

The most common cause of COPD is long-term cigarette smoking, but COPD is not limited to smokers. Other important causes and risk factors include air pollution, workplace dust or chemical fumes, indoor smoke from cooking or heating, and a rare genetic condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

COPD most often affects adults over the age of 40 and is one of the leading causes of chronic illness worldwide. Symptoms typically worsen over time, with periods of stability interrupted by flare-ups that can significantly affect daily life. Although COPD primarily affects the lungs, reduced oxygen levels can also impact energy, sleep, and overall physical endurance.

Common symptoms of COPD

  • Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity
  • Chronic cough
  • Increased mucus or phlegm
  • Wheezing or chest tightness
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Frequent respiratory infections
  • Difficulty exercising or performing everyday tasks
