COPD or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a broader term used to describe advancing diseases of the lung which includes emphysema (destruction of the walls between tiny air sacs of the lungs) and chronic bronchitis (thickening and inflammation of the walls of the airways). COPD generally surfaces at the age of 35 to 40 years.

As you know, COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It is a type of lung disease that restricts the air flow which makes it difficult for the patient to breathe. The medicines for COPD would hardly ensure proper cure from the disease. However, the treatment options can give you relief from the symptoms.
