COPD affects each person differently. There is no cure, and most of the time is progressive, but new medications are helping alleviate symptoms and prolong lives. The severity, other health issues, response to medication, age, and other factors play into the life span of a person with COPD. Many people live several years with COPD and an improved lifestyle.

Can you pass on copd infection?

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is not an infectious disease, so it cannot be passed from one person to another. It is primarily caused by long-term exposure to irritants such as tobacco smoke, air pollution, and occupational dust or chemicals. While individuals with COPD may be more susceptible to respiratory infections like pneumonia or bronchitis, these infections are caused by viruses or bacteria and can be contagious, but the COPD itself is not.

A good prognosis of COPD relies on an early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Most patients will have improvement in lung function once treatment is started, however eventually signs and symptoms will worsen as COPD progresses.
