What is COPD? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease that over time makes it hard to breathe.
Less air flows in and out of the airways because of one or more of the following:

The airways and air sacs lose their elastic quality.

The walls between many of the air sacs are destroyed.

The airway walls become thick, and airways are narrowed by inflammation.

The airways make more mucus than usual, which can also clog them.

Left untreated, people with COPD gradually lose their stamina and ability to perform daily activities.<br>
