Buildup of carbon dioxide can also damage the tissues and organs and further impair oxygenation of blood and, as a result, slow oxygen delivery to the tissues.]]> 2020-10-07 09:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809673017 akishadaniela https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809673859 Any condition or injury that affects breathing can cause respiratory failure. The condition or injury may affect your airways or lungs. Or it may affect the muscles, nerves, and bones that help you breathe.]]> 2020-10-07 09:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809673859 akishadaniela https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809687498 Usually, asthma starts in childhood years and progresses into adulthood. However, some people in their 60s, 70s and 80s can get adult onset asthma. 


Asthma is defined as a common, chronic respiratory condition that causes difficulty breathing due to inflammation of the airways. Asthma symptoms include dry cough, wheezing, chest tightness and shortness of breath]]> 2020-10-07 09:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809687498 Symptoms Of Asthma akishadaniela https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809690827 You may have infrequent asthma attacks, have symptoms only at certain times — such as when exercising

COPD can develop over the course of several years without any signs of shortness of breath.

The disease usually begins while people are in their 30s or 40s and then peaks during their 50s, 60s and 70s.]]> 2020-10-07 09:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809695355 Symptoms of COPD akishadaniela https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809703755
Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions that contribute to COPD. These two conditions usually occur together and can vary in severity among individuals with COPD.

Although COPD is a progressive disease that gets worse over time, COPD is treatable. With proper management, most people with COPD can achieve good symptom control and quality of life, as well as reduced risk of other associated conditions.

COPD symptoms often don't appear until significant lung damage has occurred, and they usually worsen over time, particularly if smoking exposure continues.


  • Shortness of breath, especially during physical activities
  • Wheezing
  • Chest tightness
  • A chronic cough that may produce mucus (sputum) that may be clear, white, yellow or greenish
  • Frequent respiratory infections
  • Lack of energy
  • Unintended weight loss (in later stages)
  • Swelling in ankles, feet or legs

This mucus causes repeat, and dangerous, lung infections, as well as obstructions in the pancreas that prevent important enzymes from breaking down nutrients for the body. ]]> 2020-10-07 09:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809729959 Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis/Bronchiectasis akishadaniela https://padlet.com/akishadaniela/gkiwwhpavgxj4eby/wish/809731739
  • Very salty-tasting skin
  • Persistent coughing, at times with phlegm
  • Frequent lung infections including pneumonia or bronchitis
  • Wheezing or shortness of breath
  • Poor growth or weight gain in spite of a good appetite
  • Frequent greasy, bulky stools or difficulty with bowel movements 

    • Diagnosing cystic fibrosis is a multistep process, and should include a newborn screening, a sweat test, a genetic or carrier test, and a clinical evaluation at a CF Foundation-accredited care center. Although most people are diagnosed with CF by the age of 2, some are diagnosed as adults.

    • Chest pain
    • Dry, non-productive cough
    • Dyspnea (shortness of breath, or difficult, labored breathing)
    • Orthopnea (the inability to breathe easily unless the person is sitting up straight or standing erect)
