 Emphysema is a lung condition
that causes shortness of breath.
In people with emphysema, the
air sacs in the lungs (alveoli)
are damaged. Over time, the
inner walls of the air sacs
weaken and rupture —
creating larger air spaces
instead of many small ones.
This reduces the surface area
of the lungs and, in turn, the
amount of oxygen that reaches
your bloodstream.

 Bronchiectasis is a lung condition

where your airways (tubes going into
your lungs) get damaged and widen.
Damaged airways can’t clear mucus
like they're supposed to. Bacteria then
grows in the mucus, causing more
inflammation and damage to your
lungs. This makes you cough a lot as
your body tries to remove the infected
mucus.
