The Obvious Signs Of COPD

Cough And Wheezing

Coughing and wheezing are so, so common with COPD. Men, you'll have a persistent cough. There's going to be some green, white, yellow, or clear mucus too. Ever heard the term 'smoker's cough?' This is the cough you can expect with COPD!

As for wheezing? That's the whistling sound you'll hear when you breathe in and out. It's because your airways are narrower than they should be. Men, the air running through them is vibrating the walls because they're so close together! Lots of mucus clogs your airways too. That'll also cause your breath to whistle a bit. And irritants like smoke and pollution trigger disgusting swelling and inflammation. That also forces you to cough and wheeze! Dealing with one of those regular respiratory infections? Expect coughing and wheezing then too.
