Coughing

Did you know that a chronic cough can be one of the first signs of COPD? Unfortunately, we don’t associate coughing with COPD but with a common cold or something minor. Still, if your coughing doesn’t go away in one week or so, it should definitely concern you.

Unlike most coughs, the ones associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease don’t go away. Coughing is actually a sign signaled by your body. When your body is trying to get rid of mucus, it makes you cough. So, if your cough doesn’t want to go away, even when you’ve tried different meds, visit your doctor because it might be COPD.
