American Lung Association in Western New York The American Lung Association in Western New York covers both the cities of Buffalo and Rochester as well as their surrounding territories.

The American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease, through research, education, and advocacy. For more than 115 years, Americans have trusted us to protect their lungs, whether it's researching treatments and cures for lung diseases, keeping kids off to***co, including e-cigarettes, or advocating for laws that protect the air we all breathe. Our goals are big - defeat lung cancer, create a to***co-free future, champion clean air for all, and improve the quality of life for those living with lung disease. Locally, we have two large fundraising events. Our Fight For Air Climb - Buffalo is held in May at Highmark Stadium (2023 date to be announced). For more information about our Fight For Air Climb, please visit http://fightforairclimb.org/buffalo or join our Buffalo Climb Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/buffaloclimb/. The 2022 LUNG FORCE Walk - Buffalo will be held on Saturday, October 1, 2022 at Buffalo Harbor State Park.

Feeling short of breath, tightness in your chest, or like you can't get enough air?

These symptoms can be linked to stress and anxiety, but they can also signal an underlying health condition. Knowing the difference is important.

Read the full Q&A with Dr. David Zisman: https://on.lung.org/4za3i7K

Dr. Zisman helps clarify when shortness of breath is caused by stress or when it may be signaling a larger lung health issue.
