Restrictive lung diseases are those which actually restrict the lung from expanding properly. They include pulmonary fibrosis, asbestosis, myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and sarcoidosis, among many others. Restrictive lung diseases differ from obstructive lung diseases, such as asthma, and COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease).
