Introduction:

These ailments impact the respiratory system, causing breathing difficulties and discomfort. Conditions such as bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia, asthma, and lung cancer affect lung function, often arising from factors like smoking, pollution, or infections.

Bronchitis:

Inflammation of air passages, often due to smoking or bacteria, leading to cough, increased mucus, breathlessness, and low fever.

Emphysema:

Progressive destruction of alveoli from long-term exposure to industrial pollutants, causing difficult breathing and cough with phlegm.

Pneumonia:

Infectious disease, usually from bacteria, viruses, or fungi, infecting alveoli, leading to fluid or pus buildup, difficulty breathing, fever, cough, chills, and chest pain.

Asthma:

Inflammatory condition of lung airways, causing shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, wheezing during exhalation, and cough. Often triggered by allergies to substances like pollen, dust, smoke, or fur, leading to airway obstruction.

Lung Cancer:

Typically linked to smoking or air pollution, where abnormal cells in the lungs can spread to other tissues. Symptoms include bloody cough, breathlessness, recurring lung infections, weight loss, bone pain, hoarseness, weakness, and fatigue.
