I seem to be tired all the time. Barb Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) refers to a number of chronic lung disorders that obstruct the airways. The most common form of COPD is a combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. in my case it is because i was on the vent two weeks and my lungs had to be tapped 4 times there are things that can help but there is no cure that i have ever heard of Rose
