Pulmonary Disorders
Pulmonary disorders refer to a range of conditions that affect the lungs and respiratory system. These disorders can impact breathing and overall lung function, leading to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Common types include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia.
Diagnosis of pulmonary disorders often involves medical history, physical examinations, and tests like spirometry or chest X-rays. Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition and may include medications, lifestyle changes, or therapies to improve lung function and manage symptoms effectively.
