Asthma
Asthma is a condition that affects the airways- the small tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. In asthma, the airways become over-sensitive; meaning that they react to things that wouldn’t usually cause a problem, such as cold air or dust.
COPD
COPD is an umbrella term for a group of lung diseases that include chronic bronchitis, emphysema and small airway disease. Lung damage over a long period of time impairs the flow of air in and out of the lungs and causes breathlessness. It predominately affects smokers and has a significantly limiting effect on lifestyle and functional independence with everyday tasks.
Bronchitis
Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi (large and medium-sized airways) in the lungs. Symptoms include coughing up mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort. Bronchitis is divided into two types: acute and chronic.
Emphysema
Emphysema is a lung condition that specifically affects the structural integrity of the respiratory tracts cell walls. It is one of the key conditions that confirm the presence of Chronic Obstructive Respiratory Disorder (COPD). The key feature of Emphysema is the abnormal and permanent dilation of the airways in the upper respiratory tracts.
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs, but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections.
Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a disease in which there is permanent enlargement of parts of the airways of the lung. Symptoms typically include a chronic cough with mucus production. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing up blood, and chest pain. Wheezing and nail clubbing may also occur. Those with the disease often get frequent lung infections.
