Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi or the airways in the lungs. The symptoms of bronchitis includes coughing up mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort. It is of two types namely the (i) Acute bronchitis which is the more common one. In this the symptoms last for a few weeks, but it doesn’t usually cause any problems past that. (ii)
Chronic bronchitis which is more serious, in that it keeps coming back or doesn’t go away at all. It’s one of the conditions that makes up what's called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening lung condition that prevents enough oxygen from getting to the lungs and into the blood. Some common conditions such as sepsis, pneumonia, severe bleeding caused by an injury, an injury to the chest or head, breathing in harmful fumes or smoke, and inhaling vomited stomach contents from the mouth cause ARDS.

Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disorder affecting the exocrine glands leading to the production of abnormally thick mucus, blockage of the pancreatic ducts, intestines, and bronchi and often resulting in respiratory infection. It causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.

Pulmonary fibrosis or scarring of the lungs is a respiratory disease in which scars are formed in the lung tissues, leading to serious breathing problems. The tissues deep in the lungs becomes thick, stiff and scarred. The scarring is called fibrosis. As the lung tissue becomes scarred, it interferes with a person's ability to breathe.

Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that start off in one or both lungs; usually in the cells that line the air passages. The abnormal cells do not develop into healthy lung tissue, they divide rapidly and form tumors. There are 4 stages in lung cancer.
Stage 0 - the cancer is in its place and has not spread to nearby tissue
Stage 1 - a small tumor arises in the lung that has not spread to the lymph nodes
Stage 2B - the tumor grows upto 5 cm, still not spread
Stage 3 - the tumor grows very large and would spread to surrounding tissue and is impossible to remove it surgically
Stage 4 - the tumor spreads to distant parts of the body like liver, brain and heart
