- Breathlessness. You may feel like there is a heavy weight on your chest, a sense of increased effort to breathe, air hunger or gasping, or that you can't take in or fully blow out a full breath.
- Cough. Often with mucus production but sometimes without. May be intermittent but can eventually occur throughout the day.
- Wheezing and chest tightness. Often occur after physical activity or other exertion.
- Fatigue. This may occur because you're out of shape or not getting enough oxygen. Typically occurs later in the disease.
- Weight loss and loss of appetite. These symptoms can occur later in the disease and are signs of severe and very severe COPD.
- Rib fractures. Severe coughing can cause rib fractures.
- Ankle swelling. This results from heart failure and may be a sign of very severe disease.

Signs and Symptoms of COPD
Americans Are Eating Too Much of This and Not Enough of These
5 Foods for Your Moods
Enjoy Easter Eggs Without Getting Sick
- Wash your hands. Use warm water and soap and wash for 20 seconds before and after you handle food.
- Avoid cross-contamination. Keep kitchen surfaces and equipment clean, and use separate knifes and cutting boards for different types of foods.
- Use only food-safe dyes. You can use the dyes that come in cute little kits or homemade dyes, but read the labels of any dyes or decorations you use to make sure they're safe.
- Start with fresh eggs. Check the "best by" date on the egg carton and don't use eggs that have passed that date. Also, give them a sniff. Some eggs that have gone bad will have an off odor (though not always).
- Buy in-shell, pasteurized eggs. If the eggs aren't pasteurized, make sure you cook them until the yolks are firm. Even fresh, organic eggs can be contaminated with Salmonella, a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning.
- Don't store eggs in the refrigerator door. The temperature on the door fluctuates, and eggs should be stored at 40 degrees or below.
- Don't boil eggs too far in advance. Hard-boiled eggs spoil faster than uncooked eggs. Eat hard-boiled eggs within a week.
- Refrigerate those eggs. As soon as you finish decorating, put the eggs in the fridge. You may pull them out to put in an Easter egg in the morning or to use for an egg hunt, but don't eat them if they're out more than two hours.
- Keep it clean. If some of your hard-boiled eggs are cracked or dirty, don't eat them. If the eggs were placed on the ground, it's safer to throw them out. You may think the shell protects them, but cross-contamination can occur while you're peeling the eggs.
