COPD: What People Don't See (Infographic)

On MyCOPDTeam.com, the social network and online support group for people living with COPD, members discuss the chronic nature of the disease and its hidden symptoms. MyCOPDTeam has grown to reach 75,000 members and members have shared over 1 million conversations about life with COPD! Throughout the year we will share themes we see come up time and time again on MyCOPDTeam.
