Preview 3 out of 16 pages
Most people with COPD notice shortness of breath and inability to do their normal daily activities. The common signs and symptoms of COPD include chronic cough, shortness of breath with daily activities, frequent respiratory infections, fatigue, increase in mucus production, lips and fingernail beds turning blue, and wheezing (American Lung Association, 2016a). Most people mistake their shortness of breath and inability to perform daily activities as common signs of aging, therefore never seek medical attention. If the symptoms are mild, the person may not notice them and will adjust their lifestyle to make breathing easier. The severity of the symptoms depends on the amount of lung damage present (NIH, 2013).
