• Pneumonia: An infection of the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, resulting in symptoms like cough, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue.

• Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs): Conditions affecting the tissues and spaces between air sacs in the lungs, causing difficulty in oxygen passage. Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, and lung scarring.

• Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD): Abnormal tightening or closure of vocal cords, causing difficulty breathing, especially during inhalation. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing and hoarseness of voice.

• Pneumothorax: A collapsed lung resulting from air leaking into the space between the lung and chest wall, causing sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, and rapid breathing. Treatment depends on the size and severity of symptoms.
