There is no laundry list of "serious health conditions

The FMLA generally defines a serious health condition and not specifically, as with a laundry list. Check the FAQ article on this question at http://www.myemploymentlawyer.com/family-medical-leave-FAQs.htm#What%20is%20a%20serious%20health%20condition.

Basically, if your doctor can fill out the certification, you qualify for FMLA.

Finally, I am not sure what COPD is.

Regards,

Neil.
