Respiratory Diseases

You may take breathing for granted, thinking that it is just an involuntary reflex action. But for the millions of people who suffer from respiratory diseases, each breath is a major accomplishment. Those people include patients with chronic lung problems, such as asthma, bronchitis,and emphysema, but they also include heart attack and accident victims,premature infants, and people with cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, or AIDS. In this booklet, however, we propose to discuss some of the common respiratory diseases.

The information in this booklet is not intended as medical advice - the doctor knows best. This booklet only intends to help patients make informed decisions.
