Common Respiratory Conditions

Asthma

A chronic condition where the airways become inflamed and narrow, causing difficulty in breathing, coughing, and wheezing.

COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a progressive lung disease that makes it hard to breathe, often caused by long-term exposure to irritants.

Emphysema

A type of COPD where the air sacs in the lungs are damaged, leading to reduced oxygen exchange and increased breathlessness.

Bronchitis

Inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term), often resulting in a persistent cough.

Lung Cancer

A malignant growth in the lung tissue that can interfere with normal breathing and requires early detection through screening.
