WHAT IS COPD?

Both types of COPD — chronic bronchitis and emphysema — make it harder to breathe because less air is able to flow in and out of the lungs. COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

  • Obstructive = It limits the airflow from your lungs
  • Pulmonary = It deals with lungs and breathing
  • Disease = It's a health problem to be taken seriously

ARE YOU AT RISK?

A five-question screener may help you identify if you are at risk for COPD.

If you find out you are at risk for COPD, call your doctor and make an appointment. During your visit, share your answers on the screener with your doctor and talk about your symptoms. The more your doctor knows, the more he or she can help.
