A member asked:

Is it the same thing as copd? i've been sick for 2 weeks and just couldn't get over it dr said i have bronchospastic pulmonary disease

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: COPD is a chronic disease lasting years. You may have a viral infection or an allergy that is causing this reaction. If it lasts another 2 weeks, it would be prudent to consult a pulmonary medicine specialist. Wish you good health!
