Is it common to get copd at age 37?

Depends: If you have been a heavy smoker it can happen at a early age, but is seen more frequently in older individuals, quit smoking now and no second or third hand smoke exposure. Follow up with your doctor regularly and use your inhalers as directed to prevent exacerbations which hurt your lung function even more.

No: It is very uncommon to get COPD before age 40 unless you have a genetic susceptibility. There is a blood test you can check to see if you have this. It's called alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and can be treated with replacement therapy. If you smoke stop now.

COPD at young age.: It's a bit young to get COPD at age 37. Its possible if you were exposed to a lot of second hand smoke as a child and through into adulthood. As well, some medical conditions can cause COPD regardless of exposure to cigarette smoke. Or you could just be genetically predisposed and thus more vulnerable than others.
