A member asked:
What is obstructive and restrictive lung disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obstructive means something is blocking off air getting to lung breathing units. Restrictive means like having a straight jacket on and you cannot move air well because of restriction of movement. Both are common in those who smoke. If that is a problem stop!
