Pulmonary Conditions
Pulmonary conditions refer to a range of diseases and disorders that affect the lungs and respiratory system. Common examples include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia. These conditions can lead to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain, impacting a person's ability to breathe effectively.
Diagnosis of pulmonary conditions often involves pulmonary function tests, imaging studies like chest X-rays, and sometimes bronchoscopy. Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition and may include medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgical interventions to improve lung function and overall health.
