Several diseases can impair respiratory function. Among the most common are:
- Asthma: A chronic inflammatory disease characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness and obstruction. - COPD: A progressive disease that causes airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. - Pulmonary Fibrosis: A condition involving the scarring of lung tissue, making it difficult to breathe. - Lung Cancer: A malignant tumor in the lungs that can severely impact respiratory function.
