See family doctor: COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease happens most commonly in smokers.Therefore if you smoke stop right now. Early COPD can be seen in cases of some congenital or heredatary conditions but many lung problems may act as copd. See your doctor for evaluation of your symptoms and spirometry.

Probably not...: Has this been definitely diagnosed by your doctor? To make this diagnosis, you probably need pulmonary function tests. If you do have copd, the most important thing to do in order to slow disease progression is to quit smoking now, today! your doctor can help with this as well as prescribe treatment to control symptoms.
