It is a condition which harms the tissue in the lungs that causes scarred and make lungs thick
and stiff that makes you hard for you to breath and your blood may not be or get enough oxygen,
shortness of breath, dry coughing, chest discomfort and loss of appetite and there are some factors that
causes in pulmonary fibrosis it can be the age more on elderly, sex more on men than women, smoking,
genetic factors and viruses.

2. Cystic Fibrosis

In this condition, since pulmonary fibrosis the lung is only affected in cystic fibrosis it affects the
lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses, and sex organs. It is an inherited disease of your secretory
glands, including the glands that make mucus and sweat. Since it is inherited it is passed through the
genes from parents to children. Since it has thick and sticky mucous it can also blocks some tubes, or
ducts, in your pancreas. As a result, the digestive enzymes that your pancreas makes can't reach your
small intestine and it cause bulky stool, constipation and discomfort.

severely overweight people that causes failed to breath rapidly or deeply enough resulting in low oxygen
