What is it?

COPD is a long-term lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. It's usually caused by long-term damage to the airways and lungs — most often from smoking — and includes conditions like emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Signs to watch for

  • Ongoing cough
  • Mucus production
  • Wheezing
  • Shortness of breath that gets worse over time

How we treat it

The team confirms the diagnosis with breathing tests, then works to slow the disease, ease symptoms, and reduce flare-ups — including support to stop smoking when that's a factor.
