Symptoms of lung diseases are trouble breathing, shortness of breath, decreased ability to exercise, coughing, wheezing, chest pain, blue or grey color indicating not enough blood flow, weight loss, tiredness, and frequent chest infections.

Oxygen deficiency takes a big toll on the human body. A person with oxygen deficiency becomes much more fatigued than a regular person. Oxygen deficiency also impacts other organs of the body, such as the brain and heart.

Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease

More commonly known as COPD, this is one of the most common lung diseases. It is a progressive lung disease that obstructs the lungs' air flow and interferes with normal breathing. In 2013, there were over 11 million patients with COPD, by 2016, there were over 15 million COPD patients.

Alpha One Deficiency

This is a rare form of COPD that affects the body's ability to produce a protein (Alpha 1) that protects the lungs. The Alpha 1 protein flows through our bloodstream and protects our bodies' organs. This protein is made in the liver, and if it is not made in the right shape, it will be stuck in the liver without flowing through the bloodstream to protect vital organs, like your lungs. Alpha 1 deficiency is usually caused by a genetic disorder.

Pulmonary Hypertension

This is a disease defined by abnormally high pressure in the blood vessels between the lung and the heart. It usually requires additional therapeutic oxygen. Pulmonary Hypertension is a rare lung disease with over 30,00 victims, two thirds of which are children.
