Advanced COPD

Advancing COPD can have a serious impact on a person’s daily activities. Increased shortness of breath is experienced during exercise, even when it’s moderate. Flare-ups or exacerbations are more frequent, as is coughing and mucus production. Later-stage sufferers often rely on oxygen therapy, and flare-ups from the disease are increasingly serious, even deadly.
