COPD is often misunderstood because symptoms can be caused by three different diseases. Separating fact from fiction will help you live better and better manage COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be confusing because it isn’t a single condition — it actually refers to a group of lung diseases that makes it difficult to breathe.
“COPD is an umbrella term for three different diseases,” says Timothy R. Wu, MD, director of the COPD Center at Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Mass. Emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and chronic asthmatic bronchitis can all cause COPD symptoms. What these diseases have in common is obstructed air flow through the lungs.

Cough, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest are some common symptoms of COPD.
Millions of Americans suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive loss of lung function, but many might not know they have it. COPD symptoms often go ignored. “The most common symptom is shortness of breath,” says Norman Edelman, MD, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association in Washington, D.C. “It may be very subtle. A person might just think ‘I’m getting a little puffy on the golf course, I’m getting old, fat.’ People tend to put it aside and not worry about it.”
