Obstructive Airways Disease

Airway blockage (obstructive airway disease) is a group of respiratory diseases characterized by difficulty breathing out due to narrowing of the airways. Obstructive diseases include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma and others.

With these diseases, inflammation and spasm of the bronchi, accumulation of mucus and hypersecretion of mucus occur. All this leads to a narrowing of the airways and difficulty in exhaling.

The main symptoms of airway blockage are shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. The disease is often chronic, with periodic exacerbations. For treatment, bronchodilators, inhaled glucocorticoids, and antileukotriene drugs are used. The prognosis with adequate treatment is favorable.



Obstructive Airway Diseases is one of the most common diseases of the respiratory system and can manifest itself in the form of various symptoms such as difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, cough, wheezing in the lungs. One of the main causes of airway blockage is obstruction, which occurs as a result of various factors including an allergic reaction, viral infections, smoking and even stress.

Obstruction is a key factor that can block the airways and cause inflammation. It can occur due to increased blood volume in the lungs, increased mucus volume in the bronchi and bronchioles, as well as spasm of smooth muscles in the chest and small airways. This can lead not only to blockage of the airways, but also to the loss of part of the lungs.

One of the most common symptoms of a blocked respiratory system is difficulty breathing. When the openings in the airways become filled with mucus or fluid, it restricts the air flow into the lungs. As a result, the person begins to feel lack of
