An inguinal hernia occurs when part of the intestinal tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This bump can be painful especially when a person coughs, bends or lifts a heavy object. (In other words, anything that increases intra-abdominal pressure.)

When the respiratory system can't get rid of carbon dioxide from the blood, this gas builds up in the body, leading to chronic respiratory failure. This failure also happens when the respiratory system can't take in enough oxygen.

Heart failure is one of the cardiovascular issues. A person with heart failure doesn't have enough power to pump blood. In fact, in this medical condition, the heart can't pump enough oxygenated blood to meet the body's needs. The heart isn't completely out of order and still performs its function of pumping blood, but it's not as efficient as a healthy heart.

Chronic kidney disease occurs when a specific disease disrupts kidney function and causes gradual and irreversible damage to the kidney structure. Chronic kidney disease is more common in blacks, the elderly, smokers, obese people, and people with a history of kidney disease.
