• Asthma

  Asthma

  Asthma is a long-term (chronic) lung disease. The airways react to triggers (allergens and irritants). This makes it hard to breathe. With exposure to triggers, these changes make the airways narrow. It is hard for air to go out of the lungs. And fresh oxygen can't get into the body.

• Bronchiectasis

  Bronchiectasis

  Bronchiectasis is a condition that affects the airways to the lungs. It’s usually caused by an infection or other inflammatory condition. You can also be born with it. Bronchiectasis injures the walls of the airways. Over time, they become scarred and flabby and can’t clear out mucus. This can lead to serious lung infections and other major health problems.

• Pulmonary Hypertension

  Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH)

  Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is high blood pressure in the lungs. It's a rare lung disorder in which the blood vessels in the lungs narrow and the pressure in the pulmonary artery rises far above normal levels. Pulmonary hypertension is a chronic and life-changing disease that can lead to heart failure if it's not treated.
