Lung disease: a variety of conditions affecting the lungs, including infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and lung cancer.
COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease): a progressive lung disease that makes it hard to breathe, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Asthma: a chronic condition that inflames and narrows the airways, causing difficulty breathing, wheezing, and coughing.
Lung cancer: a type of cancer that begins in the lungs and can spread to other parts of the body, often caused by smoking or exposure to certain chemicals.
Pneumonia: an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, causing cough, fever, and difficulty breathing.
Tuberculosis (TB): a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs, causing cough, chest pain, and weight loss.
Pulmonary fibrosis: a condition in which lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred, making it difficult for the lungs to function properly.
Pulmonary embolism: a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs, usually caused by a blood clot traveling from elsewhere in the body.
Bronchitis: inflammation of the bronchial tubes in the lungs, causing coughing, mucus production, and difficulty breathing.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF): a type of pulmonary fibrosis with unknown cause, leading to progressive scarring of the lung tissue and difficulty breathing.
