➡️ Restrictive Lung Diseases
Restrictive lung disease is a category of respiratory disorders characterized by reduced lung volume and limited expansion. The issue can arise from stiff lung tissue or external constraints, which results in difficulty inhaling and reduced oxygen intake.

➡️ Types of Restrictive Lung Diseases

➡️ Pulmonary Fibrosis
Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition where the lung tissue becomes scarred and thickened, reducing its ability to transfer oxygen to the bloodstream. This scarring can be due to various causes, including long-term exposure to certain toxins, radiation, medications, and certain lung diseases.

➡️ Asbestosis
Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by prolonged inhalation of asbestos fibers, often associated with occupational exposures. When these tiny fibers are inhaled, they can embed themselves in the lung tissue, causing inflammation and eventually leading to fibrous scar tissue formation.

➡️ Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect multiple organs in the body but most commonly targets the lungs. It results in the formation of small granulomas—tiny clumps of inflammatory cells—in the affected tissues. The exact cause of sarcoidosis is unknown, but it’s thought to be related to both genetic and environmental factors.

➡️ Pleural Effusion
Pleural effusion refers to the buildup of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura, the thin membranes lining the lungs, and the inside of the chest wall. This accumulation can result from various conditions, such as heart failure, infections, malignancies, or trauma. The presence of this fluid can compress the lungs, causing shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing.

➡️ Pneumothorax
Pneumothorax occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. This can arise from a chest injury, certain medical procedures, or spontaneously in people with weakened lung tissue. Symptoms often include sudden chest pain and shortness of breath. In severe cases, it requires immediate medical attention.
