respiratory disease in which your airways become inflamed, swollen and
narrowed. It also causes excessive mucous secretion in the airways which
makes it difficult for the air to pass through, leading to unpleasant
symptoms like wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest pain and/or
cough.

COPD is a lung disease characterized by chronic lung
inflammation and obstructed air flow within the airways. It causes
wheezing, breathing difficulties, cough with mucus production and chest
pain.
