• 2. Asthma
• The condition happens when your airways become
  narrow due to inflammation. This situation makes
  breathing difficult and may sometimes lead to
  producing extra mucus.  Asthma is of various
  types. These include allergic, non-allergic,
  occupational, cough-variant, nocturnal,
  aspirin-induced, and exercise-induced
  bronchoconstriction asthma.  
• Symptoms
• Dry cough
• Tightness in the chest
• Whistling sound while exhaling

• infections like colds and flu.
• allergies such as to pollen, dust mites, animal

• 3. Emphysema 
• Emphysema is a severe form of COPD. The condition
  defines the situation when the air sacs that are
  in your lungs get damaged, narrowed,
  over-inflated, or stretched. It evolves over the
  years and eventually leads to respiratory
  failure. Unfortunately, it has no cure.
•  Symptoms
• Loss of appetite
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Headaches  
• Causes
• It is no surprise that the most common cause is
  smoking. Tobacco damages the air sacs to such a
  level that they are no longer capable of
  repairing themselves.  
• The other major cause is your genes. If someone
  in your family has or had Emphysema, it is
  possible you can inherit it too
• Treatment
• It can be kept in control with the help of
  medications. If gone severe you might have to go
  for surgery.   Here are the medications you can
  take.  Beta-agonists and Anticholinergic
