Lung damage from long-term smoking or smoke exposure. Airways become narrow, and lung tissue gets damaged, developing bubbles (blebs). COPD patients are also prone to lung infections.

- Discharge of yellow or green sputum.
- Cough worsens with exercise
- Feeling breathless
- Bouts of violent coughing
- Noisy breathing; e.g. wheezing, rattling
- Fingertips swollen like drumsticks
Diagnostic Questions for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension?
- Have you been diagnosed with Interstitial Pneumonia or Pulmonary Fibrosis?
- Do you have yellow or green sputum?
- Does your cough get worse with exercise?
- Are you having difficulty breathing?
Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
The most crucial step in treating COPD is quitting smoking. Other medications include daily inhalers to open airways and antibiotics for infections. In severe cases, machines may be needed to supply oxygen or assist with breathing. Surgery may help remove damaged lung tissue.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
