5. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
COPD is a chronic disease that causes difficulty when breathing due to inflammation blocking the passage of air through the airway and lungs. Tachypnea is a symptom of the disease and may cause mucus production, coughing and wheezing.
COPD is usually caused by exposing the lungs to dangerous chemicals or particulates, such as those found in cigarette smoke. However, COPD can also develop due to other causes, such as worsening bronchitis. COPD is treatable, especially when caught early.6‘COPD.’ Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/copd/symptoms-causes/syc-20353679.
