Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an extremely common condition that can be devastating if not properly treated. The major symptom is shortness of breath upon exertion, and, to avoid that symptom, many people become idle and resign themselves to a much poorer quality of life. These people should know that effective therapies available today can literally give them their breath back! Treatments can improve the function of the lungs and reduce the debilitating symptoms. This program helps people understand more about the therapies for COPD, how the disease can be managed, and how some of the complications can be prevented.)
