Four stages of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Mild: Your airflow is somewhat limited. In stage 1 many people may not realize there is a problem. A person has slight limitations to their breathing. Some may experience a cough and mucus.
- Moderate: Your airflow is worsened. You are often short of breath after doing something active or strenuous. Many people notice more coughing and mucus production. In stage 2 most people tend to seek medical care for limitations in breathing and increased symptoms.
- Severe: Lung function continues to decline and breathing becomes more difficult. During stage 3, many people feel more fatigued and have difficulty exercising.
- Very Severe: The quality of life is often affected profoundly in stage 4. Flare-ups and breathing issues may become life threatening. Many people have trouble receiving enough oxygen.
