What are the most common Lung Diseases?

An overview of the most common conditions affecting the lungs, explained simply. I talk about airway diseases, such as asthma and COPD, interstitial lung diseases, pleural diseases (effusion, pneumothorax), lung infections and conditions affecting the lung vessels (pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism). It is an overview of the most common conditions encountered and what they mean. Hope it's helpful.

Doctor, I am a career firefighter. I have been out of work for quite a few months dealing with a toxic smoke inhalation injury. I was diagnosed with restrictive airway disease. I am currently compliant with my steroid inhaler and besides time and medication, is there anything else I can do to improve my function to get me back to work? Your videos are fascinating. Thank you very much for what you do.

Such in depth explanations, fantastic. If only GPs had the time to explain these conditions. Are there medical treatments for bronchiectatis?
