How can having a respiratory disease affect your life?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many things: Having a chronic respiratory condition affects overall daily functioning. One cannot do much exertion or be outdoors in any extreme of weather, or in polluted air. Medication can help, but many patients still have some problems at least occasionally.

Sometimes: If it is chronic and severe it certainly can. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are 2 such examples.
