The main symptoms include shortness of breath and cough with sputum production. COPD is a progressive disease, meaning it typically worsens over time.
1 Spirometry is valuable to track lung function over time in patients with asthma or COPD. 2  Validated questionnaires are helpful tools to screen for COPD and asthma, assess the effect of asthma or COPD on a patientâs health status and quality of life, and measure disease control.he airflow obstruction of asthma or COPD leads to symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, and, in COPD particularly, sputum production. Findings on physical examination and review of medical history also can indicate asthma or COPD, but the diagnosis of these diseases is dependent on the results of spirometry.
