Having trouble breathing?

COPD is a group of progressive long‐term lung diseases where the airway is thickened and inflamed. Over time, COPD makes it more difficult to breathe because the airways are partly blocked, restricting the flow of air in to and out of the lungs.

To find out what could be affecting your ability to breathe properly, it’s helpful to first understand what normal breathing looks like.
