My father has COPD and he is so short of breath that he can't even bring the trash out to the curb. He has to stop a few times before he gets down the driveway. This disease is such a shame since people bring on the disease themselves by smoking. His main symptom from his COPD is the shortness of breath, but he also gets tired very easily.
