Had bronchitis or pneumonia for much of last 18 months. cough up sputum everyday. wheezing fatigue shortness of breath. copd or late onset asthma?

COPD/asthma: the presentation may be similar or overlapping. Please see pulmonary specialist if you have this problem for 18 months

Wheezing: Could be either. You need to see a pulmonologist, get breathing test with and without an inhaler and possibly a CT chest. You may also need a sputum culture as well

Many possible dx: These symptoms may be related to a number of possible pulmonary conditions. Your physician may suggest puilmonary function testing, a CT scan and sputum cultures and cytology. In addition, if you have had a pulmonary infeciton in the past, bronchiectasis is another consideration. If you have ever smoked, this increases the likelihood of COPD.
