Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable lung disease characterised by chronic obstruction of lung airflow that interferes with normal breathing and is not fully reversible. People with COPD may experience cough, sputum production, and/or dyspnoea (difficult or labored breathing).
