COPD symptoms can be different for everyone. Some might have bronchitis symptoms regularly, and some it might go away for awhile but return regularly. That is why it is called "chronic"...it keeps coming back, but not at a set time and often leads to infections and antibiotics...etc.

Not what you're looking for?
