Asthma
Asthma is a condition where the airways become inflamed and narrow, causing episodes of wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that makes it hard to breathe due to narrowing of the airways and damage to lung tissue.
