Asthma & Respiratory Disorders

Respiratory disorders are health conditions that affect your lungs and airways. Asthma is one of the most common types, but there are many other respiratory problems that can impact breathing. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatments is important for maintaining good lung health.

Common Types of Asthma & Respiratory Disorders

→ Asthma: Chronic condition causing inflamed airways, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

→ Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Long-term lung disease often caused by smoking.

→ Allergic Rhinitis: Inflammation of the nasal passages due to allergens.

→ Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchial tubes causing cough and mucus.

→ Pneumonia: Infection that inflames the air sacs in the lungs.

→ Pulmonary Fibrosis: Scarring of lung tissue causing difficulty in breathing.

→ Sleep Apnea: Breathing stops or becomes shallow during sleep.

Diagnosis and Tests

Healthcare providers usually recommend a combination of tests to diagnose respiratory disorders:

→ Pulmonary function tests (PFTs): Measure lung capacity and airflow

→ Spirometry: Checks how well you can exhale air

→ Allergy testing: Detects triggers for asthma or allergic rhinitis

→Chest X-rays or CT scans: Identify lung infections or structural issues

→ Blood tests: Check for infections or inflammation markers
