Lung Diseases Overview 1 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Lung conditions defined by an inability to exhale normally, which causes difficulty breathing. 2  Chronic bronchitis: A form of COPD characterized by a chronic productive cough.  Emphysema: Lung damage allows air to be trapped in the lungs in this form of COPD.
