These type of symptoms in elderly patients are usually due to copd. In this lung disease, patient has cough with phelgm production with breathing problems, which increases in between causing more problem in those days. Common in people who have been smoker or exposed to pollution, dust, gaseous etc. This disease is best managed by inhalers containing bronchodilator medicines, but the best treatment remain quitting smoking. But the sad part is like many other diseases, this disease is manageable and treatable, but not curable.
