Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term lung disease that makes breathing difficult due to persistent airflow limitation. Early diagnosis, smoking cessation, appropriate medications, and pulmonary rehabilitation can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic lung condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making breathing difficult. Symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath can often be controlled with appropriate treatment, trigger avoidance, and regular medical care.
pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection that causes inflammation of the air sacs (alveoli) in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus, leading to symptoms such as cough, fever, chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Pneumonia can range from mild to life-threatening, particularly in infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems or chronic medical conditions. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can significantly improve recovery and reduce the risk of complications.
