  • 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 often caused by an infection or other inflammatory condition. You can also be born with it.

  • Occupational Lung Disease

    Occupational Lung Diseases

    Work-related lung diseases are lung problems that are made worse in certain work environments. They are caused by long-term exposure to certain irritants that are breathed into the lungs. These lung diseases may have lasting effects, even after the exposure ends.

  • 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.

  • Sarcoidosis

    Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

    Sarcoidosis is a rare disease caused by inflammation. Sarcoidosis in the lungs is called pulmonary sarcoidosis. It causes small lumps of inflammatory cells in the lungs. These lumps are called granulomas and can affect how the lungs work.
