What is asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS)? 🤔 ACOS is when you have been diagnosed with both asthma and COPD at the same time. If you have ACOS, you might experience both COPD and asthma symptoms, such as tight chest or laboured breathing 😮‍💨. This means the condition can be challenging to manage because both conditions need to be treated simultaneously.
