A: Asthma and COPD sufferers have similar symptoms - coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing and chest tightness. Asthma, however, is usually first observed when the patient is a child or an adolescent, while COPD is usually first observed in adults in their 40's. Asthma attacks are brought on by a reaction to an allergen, or by non-allergic factors like stress, viruses, smoke, cold or dry air, or other environmental triggers. COPD arises from a combination of two diseases: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. With an overwhelming 85% of COPD cases linked to smoking, the easiest way to prevent COPD is to quit smoking and decrease exposure to secondhand smoke.
