6. Insomnia
In general COPD symptoms do induce a lot of discomfort and this may make it difficult for a comfortable sleep to be gained. Insomnia is brought by mild headaches suffered as well as the frequent and persistent coughs incurred. Sometimes the given symptoms may flare up and worsen in terms of the magnitude of their effects. This will create some kind of psychological condition which will prevent most people from having comfortable sleep as most time will be spent on dealing with the effects brought about by the incurred symptoms. One of the immediate effects of inability to gain adequate sleep is depression and this is brought about as the affected persons may tend to worry more about their health conditions.
