COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a lung disorder that makes it hard to breathe. The first symptoms can be so mild that people mistakenly chalk them up to "getting old." People with COPD may develop chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. COPD tends to get worse over time, but catching it early, along with good care, can help many people stay active and may slow the disease.
People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have inflamed and narrowed airways and damaged air sacs, which makes them more prone to developing lung infections, particularly pneumonia.
