Editorial Note on Pulmonary Disorders:

Richard Parker

Respiratory illness is a common problem in the United States. Many times, people are genetically more likely to get respiratory conditions, but your work place or environmental exposures could also play a big role. One thing is for sure, smoking is the most common cause of respiratory disease. Chronic bronchitis is a form of COPD emphasized by a chronic cough. Usually people cough up sputum (mucus from the lungs), especially in the morning. Dr. Meyer says this happens because mucus glands in the airways increase output, and patients have to cough that extra secretion out. Since chronic bronchitis is a form of COPD, it’s treated the same way. There are so many respiratory diseases but here we are discussing only top majorly effecting disorders they are Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema, Cystic Fibrosis/Bronchiectasis, Pneumonia, Pleural Effusion.
