Not really: In the real sense of the phrase, any chronic obstruction to include asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and things called bronchiolitis which may be the one you have is COPD but in the loose sense, COPD is emphysema, which is a destruction of lung tissues or loss of some connective tissue and bowing of the midsize airways that lead to enlarged air sacs and loss of surface area.
