Having trouble sleeping is very common and sleeping disorders are becoming more common in youths too. Respiratory disease causes difficulty in breathing as it affects organs that are directly associated with breathing.
People often feel short breathing, short sleeps, patients who have respiratory disease, may wake up often and have difficulty falling or staying asleep. There are many more reasons why respiratory disease interrupts our daily sleep and what can we do to deal with it? Let’s explore more.
What Is Respiratory Disease?
Respiratory disease is something that affects the human respiration system. This disease attacks the lungs and causes short breathing.
The main reasons for the respiratory problems are;
(i) Environment
(ii) Smoking
(iii) Genetics
(iv) Long Term Exposure To Toxic Chemicals.
There are two types of respiratory diseases, the first one is infectious and the second one is chronic. Pulmonary infections are often viral but chronic diseases are long-lasting such as Asthma.
