Is pneumonia a last stage in people who have COPD

Hello. Thank you for posting.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive condition that affects your ability to breathe well. It encompasses several medical conditions, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. In addition to a reduced ability to breathe in and out fully, symptoms can include a chronic cough and increased sputum production.

As the disease progresses, a person is more susceptible to complications, such as:
respiratory infections, including colds, flu, and pneumonia. We can't know the specifics of her condition, so you should speak to her doctor.
