Can somone tell me the symptoms of OPD? I do have trouble breathing sometimes and my chest hurts. It is NOT my heart they say. Doctors don't say much anymore it seems.

    In addition people are at risk of lung damage if they passively smoke or are exposed to substances that are known to cause lung damage.  Some trades where lung damage can occur, are printers (inks, cleaners etc), bakers (flour), potters (glazes), builders (cement dust, brick dust)  people who keep birds, comment known as bird fanciers lung (pet dander), there are many trades where people are at risk and for sure smokers in these trades are more so.
