It is considered a group of pulmonary diseases that makes it difficult for the lungs to evacuate the air. The symptoms of this disease are shortness of breath, feeling of exhaustion, cough, etc. COPD is also a disease used to explain the combination of conditions of chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. If a person is a smoker, the risk of this disease is the highest. In addition to smoking, other factors that can cause COPD are aging and sleeping disorders. In most cases, COPD is a weakened disease that coexists with sleep disorders (Ohayon 2014).
Lung tissue diseases - These diseases affect the structure of the lung tissue. Tissue scarring or inflammation prevents the lung from fully expanding (restrictive lung disease). This makes it difficult for the lungs to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. People with this type of lung disease often say that they feel "sweaters and vests are tightening too tight". As a result, they could not take a deep breath. Pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis are examples of pulmonary tissue disease. Pulmonary Cardiovascular Disease - These diseases affect blood vessels in the lungs. They are caused by blood coagulation, scarring or inflammation of blood vessels. They affect the ability of the lungs to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. These diseases also affect heart function. An example of pulmonary cardiovascular disease is pulmonary hypertension. People with these diseases often feel shortness of breath during exercise
Pulmonary fibrosis (literally meaning "pulmonary scarring") is a respiratory disease that causes scarring in lung tissue and causes serious respiratory problems. Scar formation, accumulation of excessive fibrous connective tissue (a process known as fibrosis) results in wall thickening and a reduction in oxygen supply in the blood. As a result, the patient lasted shortness of breath. Pulmonary fibrosis may be a secondary effect of other diseases. Most of them are classified as interstitial lung disease. Examples include bacterial infections such as autoimmune diseases, viral infections, and tuberculosis, which cause fibrotic changes in the lungs above or below the lungs and cause other microscopic lesions of the lung is there. However, pulmonary fibrosis can also occur without any known cause. In this case, it is called "aesthetic". Most idiopathic cases are diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Causes of pulmonary fibrosis include environmental contaminants, several drugs, several connective tissue diseases and interstitial lung diseases. Interstitial lung disease is the name of a large class of diseases of inflammation or lung scarring. In most cases, I do not know the reason. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
