Emphysema is a disease that is mainly thought to be associated with the manifestation of shortness of breathing. As we all know of it, it is only when a person is too exhausted that he or she experiences shortness of breathing. Emphysema is a long-term, progressive disease of the lung that primarily causes shortness of breath. In people with emphysema, the tissues necessary to support the physical shape and function of the lungs are destroyed. Emphysema is said to be an obstructive lung disease because it destroys the tissues of the primary organ used for breathing-lungs. One of the major causes of this disease today is said to be excessive smoking.
