Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases. Having COPD makes it hard to breathe. There are two main forms of COPD: 1  Chronic bronchitis, which involves a long-term cough with mucus. 2  Emphysema, which involves damage to the lungs over time.
Doctors classify lung disease as either obstructive or restrictive. The term obstructive lung disease includes conditions that hinder a personâs ability to exhale all the air from their lungs. Those with restrictive lung disease experience difficulty fully expanding their lungs.
