    Extreme obesity also affects the function of the heart, and the patient's blood volume and resting heart rate are significantly increased. and consistent with the degree of obesity. About half of obese people have elevated blood pressure, 10% are severely elevated, and at first it only increases during sleep, and high blood pressure and hypervolemia lead to left ventricular hypertrophy over time.

    Twenty-five percent of obese people have pulmonary hypertension at rest, and 50 percent have pulmonary hypertension during exercise, often with elevated pulmonary wedge pressure and left ventricular filling pressure, and hypertension at the same time. People with pulmonary hypertension have paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, which leads to right ventricular hypertrophy and cor pulmonale.

    X-rays show that the heart shadow is enlarged, and the transverse diameter of the heart increases by 10% to 55%, which is roughly proportional to weight gain. Another 2 to 3 percent of obese people have heart failure and edema, and their liver enlargement is fat. Leg edema is also common, but diagnosis of right-sided heart failure is more difficult.

    Arrhythmias are varied, with bradycardia being the most common, atrioventricular block, atrial and ventricular premature contractions, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia.

    With such abnormal cardiopulmonary function, the patient has a series of manifestations: cough, shortness of breath, palpitations, dyspnea, inability to lie flat, intermittent or tidal breathing, pulse count, cyanosis, edema, headache, irritability, mental abnormalities or excitement, daytime drowsiness and heart failure, etc., and abnormal changes in lung function and blood gas.

    Therefore, patients with cor pulmonale are urged to lose weight and speed up**! **If you want to try lung heart soup. The effect should be good, pure Chinese medicine is non-toxic***, come on, hurry on**! But don't take ** medicine indiscriminately, just strengthen your exercise.

    Hello: Obesity is very easy to produce cor pulmonale! Obesity will cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, and one-sided nutrition!

    People with cor pulmonale must lose weight.

    Eat a reasonable diet and increase exercise. Rational use of medicines.

    Chinese medicine lung heart decoction. Pure Chinese medicine without ***! One person, one party! You can try it.

    It is also very important for patients to breathe fresh air.

    Obesity causes restrictive ventilation disorders.

    Due to obesity, excessive fat accumulates in the chest wall, compresses the thoracic cage and immerses into the respiratory muscles, limiting the movement of the thoracic cage and limiting the movement of the diaphragm; The diaphragm rises, especially when sleeping flat. As a result, lung volume, vital capacity, and functional residual volume are reduced, the airway is closed early, breathing becomes shallow and rapid, resulting in increased dead space ventilation, reduced effective alveolar ventilation, and decreased maximal spontaneous ventilation. As the mechanical resistance increases, the oxygen consumption in the breath also increases, and the oxygen consumption of severe obese people increases by 13 times compared with normal people.

    Obesity weakens the respiratory muscles, restricts thoracic movement, and breathes shallowly and quickly, resulting in hypoventilation and an imbalance in the proportion of ventilated blood flow, manifesting severe hypoxemia. Once lying down, the hypoxia is more obvious, and it is necessary to take a deep breath, and the patient often has severe cyanosis. When there is a lack of oxygen and excessive carbon dioxide retention, carbon dioxide anesthesia is produced in the central nervous system, and neurological symptoms appear.

    With selective eating, and the necessary exercise, I am sure that you will definitely become thinner, I have lost 10 pounds. Wishing you good health.

    The lungs are overloaded, and it is easy to get tired and sick, and it is natural that it will be difficult to breathe. It should be **+**.

    It is a decline in the function of the respiratory muscles of the lungs caused by excessive fat accumulation, so it is recommended to eat a light diet, pay attention to more exercise, increase aerobic exercise, and take deep breathing to improve.
