Quick COPD Test:
If you are over 40 and you smoke, or you used to smoke, take this quick test:
- Do you cough regularly?
- Do you cough up phlegm (mucous) regularly?
- Do even simple chores make you short of breath?
- Do you wheeze when you exercise or do chores or at night?
- Do you get a lot of colds, and do they last longer than other people’s colds?
