I know it's similar to asthma in the early stages but just gets progressively worse over time and it's hard to manage even with corticosteroids. There's no cure. The cause is almost always environmental (in most cases due to years of cigarette smoking, in others it's things like very bad air pollution and coal mining).
Here's some more info:
