How are the symptoms of COPD manifested?

. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a preventable and controllable chronic disease, which is very harmful, so we need to know the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) spreads very fast, and there is no time for people at all, so it is better to step up the pace quickly. Characterized by continuous airflow limitation. The limitation of airflow gradually develops, accompanied by the increase of chronic inflammatory response of airway and lung to harmful particles or gases. Acute aggravation and complications affect the severity of patients' overall disease. The number of patients with this disease is large, the mortality rate is high and the social and economic burden is heavy, which has become an important public health problem affecting human health. So understanding the symptoms of COPD is a good way to deal with this disease. Many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease don't know the symptoms very well, so it is very difficult to treat this disease. What are the clinical symptoms of COPD? The majority of patients are very concerned about this because it is one of the means to judge whether they have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Then, in order to satisfy everyone's thirst for knowledge, let's introduce the clinical symptoms of COPD. The main clinical symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: 1, shortness of breath or dyspnea: this is the symbolic symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the main cause of anxiety of patients. It only appeared in labor in the early stage, and then gradually increased to shortness of breath in daily activities and even at rest. 2, expectoration: generally cough up a small amount of mucus after coughing, and some patients have more in the morning. When complicated with infection, the amount of sputum increases, and purulent sputum may appear. 3, chronic cough: usually the first symptom, the initial cough is intermittent, heavier in the morning, cough in the morning or all day, cough at night is not significant. A few cases of cough are not accompanied by expectoration, and some cases have various obvious airflow restrictions but no cough symptoms. 4, wheezing and chest tightness: not a specific symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, some patients, especially severe patients, have wheezing; Chest tightness usually occurs after exertion, which is related to isometric contraction of intercostal muscles caused by respiratory exertion. 5.

Most of the above are typical features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which usually appear at the onset, especially in the early stage. Symptoms are similar to other diseases, but the harm is quite different.
