Generally three groups of symptoms are indicative that COPD is getting worse.
The first is breathlessness, wheezing or a sense of fatigue upon exertion.
The second is increasing cough or sputum production, or discoloured sputum production, or fever.
The third group of symptoms relate to the complications of COPD such as losing weight, losing appetite, developing swelling of the ankles, inability to sleep comfortably, or unusual chest pains.Report this post
