What do you know about the symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis?

Pulmonary fibrosis usually develops between the ages of 40 and 50 years, and is more common in men than in women. Dyspnea is the most common symptom of pulmonary fibrosis. In mild pulmonary fibrosis, dyspnea often occurs during strenuous activity.

When pulmonary fibrosis progresses, dyspnea also occurs at rest, and patients with severe pulmonary fibrosis may have progressive dyspnea. Other symptoms include dry cough and fatigue. Some patients have clubbing and cyanosis.

Fibrosis of lung tissue is a serious consequence, resulting in structural changes in normal lung tissue and loss of function. When a large number of fibrotic tissues without gas exchange replace the alveoli, oxygen cannot enter the bloodstream. Patients suffer from poor breathing, hypoxia, acidosis, loss of labor, and in severe cases, death.

The main symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis are as follows:

1. After strenuous exercise, there will be dyspnea, and after resting, there will also be dyspnea.

2. The onset of the disease mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly male friends around the age of 40.

3. Pulmonary fibrosis rarely involves extrapulmonary organs, but systemic symptoms may occur, such as fatigue, joint pain and weight loss, and fever is rare.

4. Although there is dyspnea, the chest X-ray may be basically normal.

5. Dry cough, crackles or crepitations in the lungs.

6. Cyanosis occurs in the late stage, and pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis and right heart insufficiency occasionally occur.

At present, the best and safest method for pulmonary fibrosis is the "biological gene triple" of the Second Hospital of the Beijing Armed Police Corps. Let's go there and have a look

Common symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis include cough, sputum production, and dyspnea, and when pulmonary fibrosis progresses, it also occurs at rest, and progressive dyspnea can occur in patients with severe pulmonary fibrosis. Once there are uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, at present**The most effective way to treat the disease is traditional Chinese medicine, you can go to the local regular tertiary hospital to find a Chinese medicine expert**.

Early symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis.

1. Cough: Cough is one of the most common symptoms of respiratory diseases, it is a protective nerve reflex, which produces an expiratory impact action through coughing, which can expel foreign bodies or secretions in the respiratory tract.

2. Sputum cough: sputum is a pathological secretion in the respiratory tract, with the ciliary movement of bronchial mucosal epithelial cells, the contraction of bronchial muscles and the airflow impulse when coughing, the secretions in the respiratory tract are discharged from the oral cavity.

3. Dyspnea: Dyspnea is an important symptom of respiratory insufficiency, which is the subjective feeling of insufficient air or labored breathing; Objectively, it is manifested as changes in respiratory rate, depth, and rhythm.

4. Cyanosis: Cyanosis, also known as cyanosis, refers to a clinical manifestation of the membrane due to the increase in reduced hemoglobin in the blood or the presence of abnormal hemoglobin derivatives methemoglobin and sulfide hemoglobin in the blood. Cyanosis can appear all over the body and in the membranes, but in the thinner, less pigmented and capillary-rich blood circulation endings, such as the lips.

It is easy to observe the tongue, oral membrane, nasal tip, cheeks, earlobes, nail bed, etc. Sometimes jaundice, edema, or abnormal pigmentation can mask the presence of cyanosis. Good natural light is necessary for early detection of cyanosis.

5. Clubbing: Clubbing, also known as drumming finger, is characterized by hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and clubbing-like expansion at the end of the finger or toe, which is called clubbing. It is characterized by the obvious widening and thickening of the terminal phalange, and the arched bulge of the nail from the root to the end, so that the basal angle formed by the back of the finger (toe) and the nail is equal to or greater than 180°.

6. Diaphragm: It is a flattened latis muscle that expands upwards and is dome-shaped, located between the thorax and abdomen, becoming the bottom of the chest cavity and the top of the abdominal cavity.

You can go to the Beijing Municipal Armed Police Corps Hospital, Chen Yinkui is an expert in this area, a god-like figure.

Hello, Pulmonary Fibrosis Symptoms:

Early – dyspnea: exertional dyspnea with progressive worsening, shallow breathing with nasal flaring and accessory muscles involved in breathing, but most without orthopnea.

Medium - cough, sputum production: dry cough or a small amount of mucus sputum, easy to have secondary infection. Mucopurulent or purulent sputum is present, and occasionally bloody sputum is present.

Late - systemic symptoms: emaciation, fatigue, loss of appetite, joint pain, etc., generally rare, acute type may have fever.

Well, I've looked it up, and that's probably it.

1.The age of onset is mostly over middle age, and the male-to-female ratio is about 2 1, which is rare in children.

2.The onset is insidious, mainly manifested as dry cough and progressive dyspnea, which is obvious after activity.

3.Extrapulmonary organs are rarely affected, but systemic symptoms such as fatigue, arthralgia, and weight loss may occur, and fever is rare.

Clubbing occurs in patients on the left and right, and velcro rales can be heard in the lower part of both lungs in most patients.

5.Cyanosis occurs in the late stage, and occasionally pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary heart disease, and right heart insufficiency may occur.

The main symptoms of early pulmonary fibrosis are as follows:

1. Dyspnea: exertional dyspnea with progressive aggravation, shallow breathing may have nasal alar twitching and accessory muscles involved in breathing, but most of them do not have orthopnea.

2. Cough and sputum: no cough in the early stage, dry cough or a small amount of mucus sputum may be present later, and secondary infection is easy. Mucopurulent or purulent sputum is present, and occasionally bloody sputum is present.

3. Systemic symptoms: emaciation, fatigue, loss of appetite, joint pain, etc., which are generally rare, and fever may occur in the acute type.

Fourth, the age of onset is mostly middle-aged or above, male and female 2 1, and children are rare.

Onset is insidious and progressively worsening. It presents with progressive shortness of breath, dry cough with little sputum or little white sticky sputum, and late respiratory failure with hypoxemia. On examination, thoracic respiratory movements are diminished, and fine crackles or crepitations may be heard in both lungs.

Symptom.

First, in the early performance.

Pulmonary fibrosis is not obvious in the early stage of the disease, but the main manifestations of the disease are cough and dyspnea, and the symptoms will be aggravated with labor. Some patients also experience significant difficulty climbing stairs.

Symptom. 2. Manifestations of medium-term exacerbations.

Secondary infections develop and worsen with infectious diseases. At this point, the patient may feel rapid breathing without wheezing, hemoptysis or chest pain, and fatigue.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a malignant disease that can lead to many other serious diseases. Even heart failure, chronic hypoxia and progressive pulmonary hypertension in patients with pulmonary fibrosis are often combined with right ventricular hypertrophy and cor pulmonale. In patients with fibrosis, the alveoli are highly distended, and the alveolar walls become thin and easily ruptured and fuse with each other to form large mass bullae, which can rupture the bullae during sudden exertion, such as vigorous coughing, heavy lifting, or exercise, and form a spontaneous pneumothorax.

So go to the hospital as soon as possible**, I heard that the Beijing Armed Police Corps Hospital is good, you can consult it.

Analysis:

Suggestions: Pulmonary fibrosis is the scarring of lung tissue, due to the gradual replacement of the alveoli by fibrous substances, resulting in the hardening and thickening of the lung tissue, and the gradual loss of the ability of the lungs to exchange oxygen into the blood, resulting in different degrees of hypoxia and dyspnea, the disease is reversed, the pain is unbearable, and finally death due to respiratory failure.
