In this booklet, someone can find out about COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). There's information about what it is, what the symptoms are, and how it's diagnosed and treated. COPD describes a group of lung conditions that make it difficult to empty air out of the lungs because the airways have been narrowed. There are treatments to help someone breathe more easily and there are lots of ways someone can manage the condition themselves. There are tips about controlling breathing and how to manage flare ups. This information is for the patient, their family and friends.
