Emphysema
Habits like smoking plays an important role in causing
respiratory problems, emphysema is a condition that often occurs due to
prolonged smoking habit. The air passage inside our body contains a small organ
which is referred as alveoli. The habit of smoking if continued for a long time
may damage this small organ alveoli and causes breathing problem. Damaged
alveoli means serious problem for inhaling and exhaling capabilities of the
respiratory system as the body can’t inhale enough oxygen required by it. Moreover,
the body couldn’t exhale out all the wastage (carbon dioxide) as well.

Asthma is a common
respiratory system problem that occurs due to the allergy and pollution present
in the atmosphere. There are thousands of microorganisms present in the
atmosphere that become active in certain conditions and affects people with
weak immune resistance. A person affected by asthma find it hard to breathe
easily and experience choking of airway passage that further leads him into
wheezing and minimized breathing. Asthma often attacks a person during the
early hours of the day or during the midnight; life for a person with asthma
gets even worse if the person happens to be allergic with a poor immune system.
That is why an asthmatic person always carries inhalers to clear up his airway
so he can breathe normally.
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease in which large amount of
mucus is developed in the lungs which further results into interrupting the
amount of oxygen reaches to the lungs and the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled
out. A person affected with cystic fibrosis finds it hard to breathe and
experience continuous coughing that produces sticky phlegm. The treatment of
cystic fibrosis includes dilution and removal of the thick phlegm to open up
the airway cavity of the patient for easy breathing.
