Chronic lung disease preventing normal exhalation and oxygen/carbon exchange in the lungs. It occurs when the alveoli (small air cells) in the lungs become damaged thus reducing supply of oxygen. Symptoms are breathlessness and blue lips. Most at risk are those suffering from asthma and bronchitis, heavy smokers and those living in highly polluted areas. Regular exercise and controlled breathing can help symptoms.
