ASHTMA a respiratory condition marked by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in
breathing. It usually results from an allergic reaction or other forms of hypersensitivity.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of obstructive lung disease

characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow. The main symptoms
include shortness of breath and cough with sputum production.

Chronic bronchitis is one type of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The
inflamed bronchial tubes produce a lot of mucus. This leads to coughing and difficulty breathing.
Cigarette smoking is the most common cause. Breathing in air pollution, fumes, or dust over a
long period of time may also cause it.

Emphysema is a type of COPD involving damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.
As a result, your body does not get the oxygen it needs. Emphysema makes it hard to
catch your breath. You may also have a chronic cough and have trouble breathing
during exercise. The most common cause is cigarette smoking.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which is sometimes called oat cell cancer. ... Non-small cell
lung cancer(NSCLC), which makes up about 80% to 85% of lung cancers. The 3 main types
of NSCLC areadenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and largecell carcinoma.

1. Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a hardening of the arteries.
It is typically caused by a diet high in fat, which leaves fatty deposits on the lining of the blood vessels.
These fatty deposits stick together and make the arteries hard and less flexible.
Atherosclerosis leads to high blood pressure, which can damage the heart and kidneys and even
lead to strokes.

2. Heart attack
Myocardial infarction (MI) is the technical term for a heart attack. A heart attack can occur when
the blood supply is cut off from the heart, often by a blood clot. Some heart attacks are minor, but
others can be life-threatening.

3. Mitral valve prolapse

Mitral valve prolapse means the mitral valve bulges out or prolapses because it does not close evenly.
The mitral valve pumps freshly oxygenated blood out of the heart to the rest of the body.

4. Mitral valve regurgitation

Mitral valve regurgitation happens when the mitral valve does not close all the way and causes a leak,
allowing some of the oxygenated blood to flow backward.

5. Mitral stenosis
Mitral stenosis means the mitral valve is abnormally narrow which can prevent the blood from flowing
smoothly or quickly through it.
