Seniors - Lung and breathing disorders
While the causes and triggers of lung and breathing disorders vary, patients who suffer from these conditions all experience difficulty breathing when they are having an attack. In older adults, lung and breathing disorders result in weakened breathing muscles and loss of elasticity in the lungs and breathing airways - conditions that restrict air flow to the lung.
Lung and breathing cover a wide range of conditions, including:
- Chronic bronchitis
- Chronic obstructive lung disease
- Asthma
- Cystic fibrosis
- Emphysema
Medical treatment for these conditions usually consists of drug therapy, such as bronchodilator medications, to relieve the symptoms.
