Yes, 'pulmonary' just means related to the lungs, so it is a pulmonary disease. But don't let that heavy medical term scare you, my daughter has it and she lives a completely normal, playful life with her daily inhaler.

Haan, pulmonary disease hi bolte hain kyunki yeh fefdo se connected hai. Par isme darna nahi hai, India mein crores logo ko hai aur sab normal life jeete hain, hai na?

Yes, it is a chronic pulmonary condition, which basically means it affects your airways. It sounds super fancy and scary, but honestly, once you get the right doctor's advice and avoid dusty areas, it is totally fine!

Yes, it is a pulmonary disease. Just like managing my thyroid, it requires you to go for regular checkups, get your breathing monitored, and strictly follow your doctor's treatment plan instead of neglecting it.

Yes, it is a pulmonary condition and you shouldn't take it lightly. I ignored my symptoms for a long time and ended up with severe lung complications, so please see a pulmonologist and get standard treatment.
