What are the Symptoms of COPD?

The symptoms of COPD include a cough that does not go away, coughing up sputum (mucus), shortness of breath (especially with exercise), wheezing or a whistling sound when you breathe, tightness in the chest and fatigue (tiredness). These symptoms often start years before the flow of air in and out of the lungs is reduced. Not everyone who has a cough and sputum will develop COPD later in life.
