Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, there is no one way to contract it, someone may develop it after many years of smoking, years of dealing with chronic asthma, exposure to dangerous products they've inhaled, as well as other means, according to NIH reports. Some of the symptoms may include problems breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, and an inability to exercise.

The treatments depend on what works for the person experiencing COPD, they may need to use oral medications to improve their breathing, inhalers, or even oxygen if it becomes severe.

Are there any other questions?
