CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD)
A chronic inflammatory lung condition called COPD results in restricted lung airflow. It is a chronic lung ailment that makes breathing challenging.
The symptoms of COPD frequently do not manifest until serious lung damage has already occurred, and they typically get worse over time, especially if smoking exposure persists.
Asthma
Asthma is a condition in which your airways become narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. This may make breathing challenging and cause coughing, wheezing when you exhale, and shortness of breath.
Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is an allergic reaction that affects the nasal passages. It is triggered by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold spores. When a person with allergic rhinitis comes into contact with these allergens, the immune system overreacts, leading to inflammation and irritation of the nasal lining.
Symptoms of allergic rhinitis include sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, itching of the nose or eyes, and watery eyes. These symptoms can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, causing discomfort, sleep disturbances, and reduced productivity.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. These pauses, known as apneas, can last for a few seconds to minutes and occur multiple times throughout the night. There are three main types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, and complex sleep apnea syndrome.
If you suspect you have sleep apnea, it is important to seek medical evaluation and diagnosis from a healthcare professional specializing in sleep disorders. Effective management of sleep apnea can improve sleep quality, overall health, and quality of life.
