Not smoking: COPD is part of the damage provoked by smoking. It is treatable and compatible with described, in a sense. But other possibilities exist too. Acute bacterial or viral conditions, even more serious neoplastic diseases can be ruled out. Sputum samples, cxr, PPD might help clarify the status. Sometimes sinusitis is the origin. Your dr will help you, just keep appointments and don t smoke. Best of luck.
