Asthma and Other Conditions

What Is COPD?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of diseases that limit the flow of air into and out of the lungs. COPD includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, most often caused by heavy, long-time cigarette smoking. COPD can also include chronic asthma.
Interstitial Lung Disease
Interstitial lung disease—sometimes called restrictive lung disease—refers to a group of lung problems. When you have interstitial lung disease, your lungs become inflamed and scarred. You may find it harder to take deep breaths. Or you may have a dry cough and mild chest discomfort.
