lung diseases list - #19472

Pooja

I am really confused about these lung diseases list thing after my grandma got diagnosed with COPD last month. I always thought of lung problems like asthma or pneumonia, but then I started looking into this lung diseases list, and wow, there’s so much more! She’s been coughing a lot, and now it seems like there's a whole lung diseases list that could explain different symptoms. Like, I found out about interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis on some websites, and I just don’t know if those are things I should worry about, or if they're more rare. Can anybody help me understand this lung diseases list better? Are there specific signs that point to one over the others? My grandpa had a pretty bad case of bronchitis a few years back, which makes me think—are respiratory infections included in this lung diseases list too? I just don’t wanna freak out over every little cough or breathing issue, but I’m also the type who likes to know what’s out there ya know? Thanks in advance for any insights!
