Arthritis is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a leading cause of disability and can significantly impact the quality of life of those affected. One of the less commonly known but important aspects of arthritis is its effect on the respiratory system. In this article, we will explore the relationship between arthritis and respiratory medicine. Arthritis is a condition that affects the joints, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. There are over 100 different types of arthritis, with the most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
