What are the symptoms of emphysema? How to treat emphysema

The symptoms of emphysema are related to the severity of the disease, and most of them have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and respiratory symptoms and systemic symptoms may appear as the disease progresses; Methods include general, medical, and surgical.

1. Clinical symptoms.

1) Respiratory symptoms: manifested as chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea, etc., especially aggravated after activity; If there is a co-infection of the respiratory tract, symptoms such as respiratory acidosis may also occur.

2) Systemic symptoms: such as fatigue, headache, weight loss, edema, etc., and coma may occur in severe cases.

2. Method.

1) General**: such as staying away from environmental pollution, appropriate oxygen therapy, nutritional support, etc., suitable for patients with no obvious symptoms or hypoxemia in the early stage.

2) Drugs**: If the symptoms of dyspnea are more obvious, bronchodilators can be used, which can also relieve the symptoms of emphysema discomfort; If there is phlegm in the throat that cannot be coughed up, expectorant drugs are used to promote rapid discharge of sputum.

3) Surgery**: Common surgical methods include surgical lung volume reduction, lung transplantation and transbronchoscopic lung volume reduction, etc., which are suitable for patients with more serious conditions.

Emphysema is a pathological condition in which the airway distal end of the bronchioles is reduced in elasticity, overdistended, inflated, and has increased lung volume, or is accompanied by destruction of the airway wall. According to its cause, there are several types of emphysema: senile emphysema, compensatory emphysema, interstitial emphysema, focal emphysema, paraseptal emphysema, and obstructive emphysema.

Among them, obstructive emphysema is more common in clinical practice, and it generally develops from slow branches.

The degree of emphysema varies depending on the clinical manifestations. The higher the degree of emphysema, the more pronounced the symptoms. The lower the degree of emphysema, the less obvious the symptoms.

There are no obvious symptoms in the early stages of emphysema, and patients only contract shortness of breath after intense exertion or feel shortness of breath after intense exercise. As the disease progresses, the patient's symptoms become more and more pronounced, with symptoms such as difficulty breathing, drowsiness and fatigue, loss of appetite, bloating, and weight loss. The typical symptoms of emphysema are increased anteroposterior diameter of the thoracic cage, decreased breath sounds, narrowing of the dullness of the heart, decreased voice tremor, and decreased respiratory movements.

There are generally three ways to treat emphysema.

Surgery**Emphysema is indicated for patients with severe emphysema or poor drug control. Surgical methods include lung volume reduction surgery, lung transplantation, etc. Complications of emphysema surgery are not uncommon and risky, and rejection after lung transplantation can lead to shock or even death, so careful selection is required.

Conservatism Conservative Medication is a common method of emphysema, and it is also the most acceptable method for patients due to its rapid effect and ease of taking. Commonly used drugs include aminophylline, 2-receptor stimulants, corticosteroids, etc., which can quickly relieve symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath, but the symptoms are not cured, and it is easy to reverse, and long-term medication is required, and there are many drugs.

Traditional Chinese medicine ** emphysema Chinese medicine ** disease has a great advantage over Western medicine in the treatment of both symptoms and symptoms, although the effect is slow, but it is small, will not expand the disease, and is generally the first choice for emphysema. Compound Chuanbei Ginkgo Fruit Soup is a large compound of traditional Chinese medicine that has obvious effects on emphysema according to the records of medical books and years of clinical experience in Confucius's Shengde Hall. According to the patient's different conditions and constitution (such as the constitution that has undergone surgery), add or subtract medication as appropriate, and carry out targeted symptomatic treatment**.

It has the effect of dissipating cold in the lungs, dissolving phlegm and relieving asthma, warming and strengthening the yang, replenishing the lungs and invigorating qi, and the pure Chinese medicine preparation is small, which can effectively control the development and deterioration of emphysema, relieve the symptoms of cough and dyspnea, and insist on taking it to prolong the life of patients.

Emphysema refers to the symptoms of breathing disorder caused by a certain abnormal growth in the trachea or lesions in the trachea, because the degree of emphysema is different, and the emphysema can be improved by drugs and surgery.

In the daily living environment, due to various air pollution, or after there are certain lesions in the lungs, it will lead to a certain difficulty or obstacle in breathing after exercising or after doing heavy work, and when the symptoms are relatively obvious, it is necessary to consider whether it is because of the health problems of the lungs, such as emphysema, which is a symptomatic breathing disorder.

Emphysema refers to the enlargement of the trachea in the lungs, coupled with the decrease of tracheal elasticity, and the volume of the lungs increases during the daily inflation process, and even some problems caused by pathological lesions in the airway wall, which will lead to certain disorder symptoms in various breathing processes.

After the occurrence of emphysema, because the daily breathing situation will be closely related to daily exercise and labor, so if you want to properly deal with some annoying obstacle conditions, it is necessary to conduct a lung examination on the patient, determine the extent of the trachea in the lungs, and then carry out targeted treatment according to the symptoms.

Because the degree of emphysema is different, so the way to get up is also different, the way can be divided into drugs and surgery, in the face of different degrees of emphysema, the choice of the best is different, as long as it can be serious and timely to do a good job, it is possible to greatly change the situation of emphysema and avoid various respiratory disorders.

To sum up, emphysema refers to the symptoms of respiratory disorders caused by a certain abnormal growth in the pulmonary trachea or lesions in the trachea, because the degree of emphysema is different, and it can be treated with drugs and surgery, which can improve the symptoms of emphysema and avoid some respiratory disorders.

Emphysema is due to a variety of factors leading to decreased airway elasticity and over-expansion of the terminal bronchioles, inflation and increased lung volume, and destruction of the airway wall. Common symptoms of emphysema include dyspnea, chest tightness, shortness of breath, etc. **Includes appropriate use of bronchodilator medications, such as theophylline extended-release tablets, albuterol aerosols, and long-term use of tiotropium bromide and sinbico, or sulitel powder inhalers.

In addition, antibiotics can be empirically used for anti-inflammatory**, depending on the needs of the condition and the pathogen**.

Emphysema is an inflammation of the small airways and lung tissues, resulting in an increase in the air content in the lungs and the formation of a pathological state, and the symptoms are mainly manifested as respiratory symptoms, digestive symptoms, and systemic symptoms.

1. Respiratory symptoms.

Respiratory symptoms are obvious during exercise or exertion, patients will feel dyspnea, chest tightness, shortness of breath, with the slow development of the disease will be accompanied by cough, sputum and other symptoms, to the middle and late stage of dyspnea symptoms aggravated, will be complicated by obstructive emphysema.

2. Gastrointestinal symptoms.

In the middle stage of emphysema, it can affect digestive function, leading to digestive symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, and upper abdominal distension.

3. Systemic symptoms.

After secondary infection, such as lung infection, heart infection, etc., patients will experience symptoms such as dizziness, headache, drowsiness, and drowsiness.

Most of the symptoms of emphysema are caused by long-term smoking, which is exertional dyspnea, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and then gradually develops into progressive dyspnea.

The typical symptoms of emphysema are cough, sputum, white sputum, accompanied by chest tightness and wheezing, aggravated after activity, a small number of patients will have respiratory failure, at this time there will be coma, purple lips, and both lungs are full of dry and wet rales, and for the disease of **, in the acute stage, mainly through antibiotics to fight infection, with hormone drugs to fight inflammation and asthma, in the remission period mainly through inhaled drugs to improve lung function.

The pathogenesis of emphysema has not been fully elucidated, and it is generally believed that it is caused by the synergistic effect of multiple factors. Factors that cause emphysema include infection, smoking, air pollution, occupational dust, and long-term inhalation of harmful gases.

Of course, certain genetic factors can increase the risk of emphysema. Emphysema** includes the use of bronchodilator medications, such as aminophylline extended-release tablets, albuterol aerosols, and long-term use of powder inhalers such as tiotropium bromide and sullidie.

Short-course low-dose glucocorticoids** may be used when the condition requires. According to the pathogenic bacteria or experience, antibiotics are used for anti-inflammatory, expectorant, cough and other symptomatic treatment. In addition, it includes respiratory exercises, home oxygen therapy, smoking cessation, nutritional support, etc.

Symptoms of emphysema: wheezing, worsening with activity, cough, sputum production, dry and wet rales can be heard on auscultation of both lungs, and low heart sounds; Symptoms of bronchitis: fever, cough, sputum production, and dry rales on auscultation of both lungs.

Suggestions: Methods of emphysema: First of all, chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma can be given drugs to relax the bronchial tubes such as:

Doxofylline, terbutaline, etc., and corticosteroids, antibiotics, etc., and oxygen if necessary. The best methods of bronchitis: antibiotics, expectorant, cough suppressant and other drugs.

Keep warm, avoid cold, and eat lightly.

Emphysema is caused by long-term lesions of the chronic bronchi, manifested as increased lung transparency, clinical manifestations of chest tightness and shortness of breath, emphysema is an irreversible disease, can not be completely **, in general, it is controlled not to let it develop down, life should pay attention to avoid colds, acute attacks, give sensitive antibiotics**.

In the early stage, there are no symptoms, or you feel shortness of breath during labor or exercise, and as emphysema progresses, breathing will be difficult, and then it will worsen, as long as you move a little, or even after a complete rest, you still feel shortness of breath, and there will be fatigue, weight loss, appetite will be reduced, so that the abdomen will feel full, and it is necessary to control the cough and phlegm production.

**Policy.

The first of the first problems of emphysema should be the primary diseases such as chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma, and only when these primary diseases are controlled can the development of emphysema be prevented.

Drugs**. Please use under the guidance of a doctor and do not self-medicate.

1.Dilutolic bronchial drugs: such as aminophylline, 2-receptor stimulants. When the condition requires, glucocorticoids can be used appropriately.

2.Antibiotics: such as penicillins, aminoglycosides, quinolones, and cephalosporins.

Mild cases may be neurofunctional, that is, caused by the loss of function of the heart and lungs, and there is no obvious organic lesion diagnosed by Western medicine. Severe cases are caused by diseases of the heart and lungs, which can be caused by coronary heart disease, myocardial insufficiency, or chronic bronchiitis, emphysema, and pulmonary heart disease.

Emphysema is an increase in lung volume due to alveolar loss. He usually has exertional shortness of breath and cough. If you have a sputum cough, you can go to the hospital for some tests. Actively cooperate with medical practitioners**.

Emphysema is an infection of the lungs, and the main symptoms are coughing, wheezing, and poor breathing.

Symptoms of emphysema vary depending on the severity of the disease, and in the early stages there may be no symptoms or shortness of breath only during labor and exercise. As emphysema progresses, the degree of dyspnea may worsen, and even chest tightness and shortness of breath may occur when the patient is slightly active or even completely rested, and the patient may feel fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, and upper abdominal distension, accompanied by symptoms such as cough and sputum production.

Emphysema is a serious lung disease, after suffering from emphysema, patients should not lose hope in life, because this is a disease that can be cured, **emphysema, patients should be advanced in internal medicine**, after internal medicine**, if the condition does not improve significantly, lung transplantation can be carried out, and lung tissue from a healthy donor can be transplanted to patients in the terminal stage of emphysema to improve the patient's condition. Help emphysema patients to optimize the content of the air, so that the condition of emphysema patients can get a qualitative change.

With the development of domestic medical level, there are now a variety of emphysema methods, such as lung transplant technology, we can be confident in this transplant technology, lung transplantation surgery at the end of emphysema, postoperative will be very good, patients' symptoms, exercise capacity, lung function indicators can be greatly improved, the quality of life is improved, life can take care of themselves, appropriate participation in exercise, some patients can even return to work. Nowadays, there are many ways to choose emphysema, and patients with emphysema need to know what method is suitable for their own emphysema when choosing a method, and they cannot use the method indiscriminately.

How can emphysema be cured? Based on the above article introduction, I believe that patients and friends already know that emphysema. However, the process of emphysema itself is not an overnight thing, so in addition to being active, we must also be active and brave, and never give up halfway.

Finally, the experts sincerely wish everyone good health and happiness.
