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.”
