COPD
COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It means the airways in your lungs are blocked. Because of this, it can be hard to breathe. You may have trouble with daily tasks because of shortness of breath. Over time the shortness of breath gets worse, making it harder to take care of yourself and take part in daily tasks.
Chronic Bronchitis
With chronic bronchitis, there is damage to the airway tubes. These airways become irritated and swollen. This causes coughing with mucus that is hard to bring up. This leads to shortness of breath.
Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
This is a clog in an artery in your lung. It can happen suddenly, even in a healthy person. It's a serious medical condition that can be fatal.
Pulmonary Hypertension (PH)
This is high blood pressure inside your pulmonary arteries. Those are the arteries that carry blood from your heart to your lungs. With this condition, your heart has to work harder to pump blood to your lungs. This is bad for your heart. It can cause serious health problems.
Pulmonary Valve Stenosis
This is a heart defect. It narrows the opening of your heart’s pulmonary valve. This slows your blood flow. Pulmonary valve stenosis can be mild or severe.
