Respiratory diseases affect the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system, leading to breathing difficulties and other symptoms. Some common respiratory diseases include:

Asthma: A chronic condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, causing wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness.

Pneumonia: An infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, causing symptoms such as cough, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing.

Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs, leading to coughing, mucus production, and difficulty breathing.

Lung Cancer: A type of cancer that begins in the lungs and can spread to other parts of the body, often causing a persistent cough, chest pain, and difficulty breathing.

Pulmonary Fibrosis: A condition in which lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred, leading to stiffness in the lungs and difficulty breathing.

Pulmonary Embolism: A blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs, usually caused by a blood clot, which can be life-threatening and cause sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing up blood.

Cystic Fibrosis: A genetic disorder that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and other organs, leading to respiratory infections and breathing difficulties.

Sleep Apnea: A sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breathing during sleep, often leading to daytime fatigue and other health problems.
