Respiratory System Disorders
Respiratory system disorders affect the organs responsible for breathing, including the lungs, airways, and nose. Common conditions include asthma, which causes wheezing and shortness of breath due to inflamed airways; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), often linked to smoking, leading to persistent breathing difficulties; and pneumonia, an infection that can cause cough and fever. These disorders can impact oxygen intake and overall health, making it harder to perform daily activities. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
