Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. It is typically associated with long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. COPD includes conditions such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production, and wheezing. It is a progressive disease, meaning it typically worsens over time, and it is currently incurable, although treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
