Quick COPD Test:

If you are over 40 and you smoke, or you used to smoke, take this quick test:

1. Do you cough regularly?
2. Do you cough up phlegm  (mucous) regularly?
3. Do even simple chores make you short of breath?
4. Do you wheeze when you exercise or do chores or at night?
5. Do you get a lot of colds, and do they last longer than other people’s colds?
