Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (often abbreviated to COPD) is persistent obstruction of the airways occurring with emphysema, chronic bronchitis or both disorders.
This disease is second only to heart disease as a cause of disability that forces people to stop working.
COPD affects men more often than women and is more often fatal in men. COPD leads to chronic airflow obstruction, which is defined as a persistent decrease in the rate of airflow through the lungs when the person exhales.
Both emphysema and chronic bronchitis contribute to the airflow obstruction of COPD. Emphysema is the irreversible enlargement of many of the air sacs that make up the lungs and destruction of the air sac walls. Chronic bronchitis is characterised by a cough that produces sputum for 3 months or more during 2 successive years. The airflow obstruction of COPD leads to an increase in the effort required for a person to breathe.
There are several causes of COPD, one prominent example being cigarette smoking. However, evidence also suggests that those working in environments polluted by chemical fumes or dust are susceptible to the disease.
Symptoms of COPD can be summarised as follows.
A mild cough that produces clear sputum will often develop by and around the age of 45. This often persists for 10 years.
Shortness of breath may also arise.
About one third of people with severe COPD experience severe weight loss.
Swelling of the legs will often occur.
The individual suffering with COPD may also suffer morning headaches.
A further symptom of COPD is the coughing up of blood (this also raises concerns concerning cancer).
The symptoms above are by no means exhaustive and others may arise.
