Can you name a Homeostatic Imbalance in the Respiratory System?

I was asked what's a type of imbalance in the respiratory system, and I was also wondering what one could be.

Thank you! =)

    Any distortion or disease process that may interfere with the normal function of the body will affect homeostasis. Stress can reduce your body's ability to combat infections of all sorts and can result in a lung infection such as bronchitis or pneumonia.
