Are You At Risk for COPD?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of illness and the fourth leading cause of death. However, many people don’t realize they have the disease.

• Do you cough several times most days?
• Do you bring up phlegm or mucus most days?
• Do you get out of breath more easily than others your age?
• Are you over 40 years old?
• Are you a current smoker or an ex-smoker?

If you answer yes to three or more of the above questions, you may be at risk for COPD. To make an appointment, call toll-free 1.877.UT.CARES (1.877.882.2737) or email hcc@mc.utmck.edu.
