•Obstructive means partly blocked.

COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. They are called chronic obstructive lung diseases because the ability to exhale air or to breathe out is partially obstructed. Many people can have a combination of both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, but some cases may only have one or the other.

Typical symptoms for COPD include:

• Coughing or wheezing several times a day
• Excess mucus or phlegm coughed up
