Human body is a complex machine which extracts the essential nutrients from the food it consumes and converts it into the energy. This conversion of nutrients into energy takes place with the help of oxygen which the body inhale through a mechanism called as respiratory and circulatory systems. In addition, the body’s respiratory system ensures the exhalation of the carbon dioxide which is nothing but the waste produced during the conversion process of nutrients into energy. Both the inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide is carried out through the respiratory system of the body therefore any problem in respiratory system means insufficient oxygen inhalation and partial carbon dioxide exhalation out of the produced wastage. This excessive carbon dioxide if remain inside the body cells, similarly the insufficient supply of oxygen affects the conversion process of food into energy. Respiratory disorders are those problems that affect the uniform performance of our respiratory system and thus affect the process of inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide. Some common respiratory disorders include;


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
 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.
