Introduction
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD), also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is characterized by a limitation of the airflow in the lung, which develops over time and is not totally reversible.
COLD is associated with a set of breathing-related symptoms:
- Chronic cough
- Spitting or coughing mucus (phlegm)
- Being out of breath when doing physical activities
The ability to exhale (breath out) gets worse over time.
