The Different Stages of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder: What to Expect

As someone living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD), I've experienced firsthand the different stages of this condition. In the early stages, symptoms like shortness of breath and frequent coughing can be mild and easy to overlook. As COPD progresses into the moderate stage, symptoms become more noticeable and can impact daily activities. In the severe stage, quality of life is significantly affected, with increased difficulty in breathing and the need for oxygen therapy. It's important to be aware of these stages and work closely with your healthcare provider to manage the condition effectively.
