Solution Which two diseases could result in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?

1. Asthma and chronic bronchitis.

2. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

3. Congestive heart failure (CHF) and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)

. 4. Congestive heart failure (CHF) and emphysema.

COPD is often a mix of two diseases:

In chronic bronchitis, the airways that carry air to the lungs get inflamed and make a lot of mucus. This can narrow or block the airways, making it hard for you to breathe.

Emphysema-In a healthy person, the tiny air sacs in the lungs are like balloons. As you breathe in and out, they get bigger and smaller to move air through your lungs. But with emphysema, these air sacs are damaged and lose their stretch. Less air gets in and out of the lungs, which makes you feel short of breath.
