Asthma is the result of an allergic reaction, which affects the lungs by inflaming the linings of the bronchioles, making it harder to breathe and creating the 'wheezing' sound.
With asthma there are 3 elements to it.
1) inflammation
2)mucus plugging
3)bronchospasm
When you get an asthma attack you have to be exposed to an irritant which causes inflammation in the bronchioles. Because of this inflammation your body produces extra mucus which creates mucus plugging and then you get bronchospasm which decreases the size of the bronchioles which creates the wheezing sound when an asthmatic exhales. With this decrease in bronchioles the body is unable to exhale air in the lungs which becomes trapped. After a while the pressure can build up to a point where you can't breathe anymore and you could have a collapsed lung which could become tense and with that pressure on the heart, could go in to cardiac arrest.
When you have lung cancer, there is a mass or a collection of cancer cells in the lungs. The cancer cells will be spreading out to other organs of the body (metastasis).
What happens to the lungs is that, you will have much chest pain with back pains, most of the time it will be very painful especially when you are at your terminal stage. Since your lungs makes you breathe, and it is responsible for the gas exchange and blood oxygenation, you will feel like exhausted most of the time, especially if you are coughing. You will be feeling like you are running out of breathe. At times, you will feel like there's like nothing. But you will feel most uncomfortable when you are at your advanced stage of lung cancer, you will feel all the pain.
Lung cancer starts especially when you smoke, it is a very long process before it can turn into a cancer. You are at a high risk especially if you have immediate family with a cancer, say your dad, you are a smoker or a secondhand smoker, you live a sedentary lifestyle and you have recurring lung diseases.
