Frequently Asked Questions

4. What are the symptoms of COPD?

The most common symptoms of COPD are a cough that does not go away and coughing up a lot of sputum. These symptoms may occur years before lung damage has reduced the flow of air in and out of the lungs. Other symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath, especially with exercise; wheezing or whistling sound when you breathe; and tightness in the chest.
