Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): It is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes). The major cause of COPD is smoking tobacco. Also, long-term exposure to fumes and chemicals may also lead to COPD. The symptoms include chronic cough, shortness of breath or wheezing (whistle sound while breathing).
Asthma: It is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. The asthma symptoms include wheezing (whistling sound while breathing), shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough, especially at night.
Chronic bronchitis: It is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation of airways (bronchi) that carry air to the lungs. Symptoms include constant cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
