What are the rehabilitation exercises for COPD?

Some people often run to the respiratory department when the seasons change, they usually have such symptoms: shortness of breath, breathing straining and even difficulty, frequent coughing, phlegm, before, they only felt shortness of breath and wheezing after doing heavy work or climbing the mountain, but they slowly began to feel that it was difficult to breathe when walking a few more steps or climbing a staircase, and even when resting at home, they would feel shortness of breath and chest tightness, and such patients were diagnosed with "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease" in medicine referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Because patients with COPD often feel tired, short of breath, and have difficulty breathing after activity, many patients are reluctant to participate in physical labor and gradually reduce the amount of daily exercise.

Reduced physical activity further reduces cardiovascular adaptability, and the progression of COPD disease further limits the patient's mobility. The long-term vicious circle leads to the more difficult it is for the patient to breathe, the more difficult it is to breathe, the more the patient does not want to move, the worse the disease is, and in severe cases, there is a risk of respiratory failure. What is Respiration**?

Respiratory** is based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's health status, in order to prevent various triggers that can cause or aggravate respiratory symptoms, or to improve respiratory symptoms, and determine a variety of individualized non-drug comprehensive management measures, including exercise, psychoeducation, education, elimination of triggers, etc. How important is breathing? Taking COPD patients as an example, the value and status of respiration are equivalent to that of drugs, which can improve exercise tolerance, reduce dyspnea symptoms, improve health-related quality of life and increase patients' ability to participate in social activities.

Why do you need to breathe** In the hospital, doctors will give COPD patients some **** methods other than drugs, including breathing**, some studies have shown that after a period of breathing, the symptoms of dyspnea are significantly reduced, and the standard of living has been significantly improved. It is worth noting that if the patient cannot maintain a certain level of exercise after receiving breathing, the effect will gradually decrease over time, while those who can adhere to a certain amount of exercise can have the effect of breathing lasting for several years. Therefore, consistent exercise is an important measure for patients with COPD to maintain physical fitness.

Breathing training is an important part of COPD** training.

Supports and improves cardiopulmonary function, through physical medicine** and prevents complications; Eliminate the residual dysfunction and psychological effects of the disease, carry out active respiratory and exercise training, and explore the potential of respiratory function; Educate patients to strive for the maximum amount of fluid-based activity in daily life, improve their endurance to exercise and activities, increase their ability to take care of themselves in daily life, and reduce the need for hospitalization.

COPD mainly includes smoking cessation, smoking cessation is a necessary measure in all stages of COPD, if the smoking addiction is very large, you can use other things to divert attention, in addition, to carry out some less strenuous sports, it is also a good means, and then the use of traditional Chinese medicine to carry out **.

In our life, it is often accompanied by a variety of diseases, fortunately most of the diseases can be effectively controlled or can be completely cured, but there are still some chronic diseases, which are very harmful to human health, and it is difficult to carry out**, including COPD, but COPD is still hopeful. So what are the methods of COPD?

1. Quit smoking. It is very necessary to quit smoking at any stage of the disease, because the reason why many patients suffer from COPD is due to long-term smoking, especially during the onset of COPD. If you have a strong craving for smoking for too long, you can consider using other things to attract attention and relieve your craving.

2. Exercise. COPD will cause great damage to the body's lung function during the onset of the disease, and even many patients will have shortness of breath and dyspnea in the early stage of the disease, which are caused by the tissue lesions of the lungs affecting the normal lung function. Exercises such as jogging are more appropriate.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine auxiliary**.

Traditional Chinese medicine can also be used in the first stage of COPD, because although it is difficult to effectively alleviate the acute symptoms of COPD in traditional Chinese medicine, it can still be of great help to the condition of COPD if you can insist on using medicine. Especially in the **** stage of COPD, traditional Chinese medicine can maintain the injured lungs of patients, and at the same time, it can also ** the respiratory tract damage caused by COPD.

The **** of COPD includes:1Respiratory physiology**, which can encourage patients to cough more and breathe harder, so as to promote the elimination of sputum; Assist and instruct the patient to perform pursed lip breathing, thereby increasing the pressure in the airway, thereby resisting extra-airway pressure and preventing premature closure of the airway during expiration; 2.

Muscle training, including whole-body exercises, mainly aerobic exercises, such as walking, stair climbing, cycling, etc.; The exercise of the respiratory muscles allows the patient to breathe deeply and slowly, so that the breathing resistance can be reduced, the ventilation of the ineffective cavity can be reduced, and the gas can be distributed more evenly.

It's a good method, but it should be noted that you can't do strenuous sports, and it is more appropriate to choose some more soothing exercises, such as swimming, walking, jogging, etc.

Proper exercise and home oxygen inhalation have a good effect on COPD, especially oxygen therapy, in my dad's words, after oxygen inhalation, it is like all organs have replenished oxygen and come back to life. The Omron oxygen concentrator we bought at home is quite good, which can effectively achieve 90% oxygen concentration. Every time my dad is very relaxed after inhaling oxygen.

If you have any other questions, you can ask.

The pulmonary method of COPD is to do a health education for patients, let patients understand the disease, and then avoid high-risk factors, and also adhere to exercise training, aerobic training, and give patients enough nutrition. Keep the patient in a good mood.

1 For patients with COPD who have just developed the disease, walking is a very suitable way to exercise. Walks can be done anywhere, outdoors, in the mall or on the treadmill. Try to walk a few minutes or a few tens of meters more every day, even if it is slow.

It's a good idea to make an exercise plan under the guidance of your doctor.

2. Stationary bicycle is a stool digging and is very suitable for COPD patients. You can ride a bicycle at home, or in a gym or ** yard. Before doing a cycling exercise, talk to your doctor about whether this is the right fit.

Once you feel that your body has improved, you can also go outside for a bike ride. However, if you feel short of breath while riding, stop immediately and sit down for a while.

3. Tai Chi movements are gentle and gentle, like flowing water, which is very suitable for COPD patients. Doing tai chi has little load on the heart and lungs and helps to build muscles. Tai Chi also relieves stress and helps relaxation, making it especially suitable for COPD sufferers with anxiety or impatient temperament.

4. Arm flexion to lift lightweight objects, this exercise can help the patient to be able to reach the shelf or lift heavy objects. Dumbbells, elastic bandages, or water bottles are all tools for arm flexion. Hold a weight in each hand, palm facing forward, inhale, bend elbows, lift the weight to your chest, exhale slowly, then inhale while slowly lowering your arms.

Do 2 sets of each exercise and repeat this movement 10-15 times for each group.

Can COPD be cured? At the current level of medical care, COPD is not yet possible, but it can be controlled, well controlled, and even does not affect the quality of life at all. Lishutong is a drug marketed in China in 2019 and is a short-acting receptor agonist, which is the first choice for acute exacerbations of COPD recommended by the guidelines, which can quickly relieve airway spasm symptoms and improve lung function.

Once the acute exacerbation is under control and the COPD condition is stable, it can be carried out. What are the **** methods of COPD? There are three main types, namely breathing training, expectoration training, and exercise training.

Among them, the regular exercise you mentioned is the core content of the lungs**. Breathing exercises are common such as abdominal breathing and pursed lip breathing. An important way to practice expectoration is to cough spontaneously, and to expel phlegm through coughing.

Specific methods: the patient is seated or standing, and the upper body can be slightly tilted; Inhale deeply, hold your breath for 3 seconds, cough three times in a row, contract your abdominal muscles or press your upper abdomen with your hands to help cough; Stop coughing and purse your lips to exhale the remaining air; Inhale slowly and repeat the above movements; After doing 2-3 times in a row, rest or breathe normally and start again; After waking up in the morning, half an hour before meals, and before going to bed are the most suitable times for expectoration. Exercise training is divided into aerobic training, strength training, balance and flexibility training, etc.

aerobic training such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, playing ball, etc.; strength training such as dumbbells, squats, push-ups, etc.; Balance and flexibility training such as yoga, tai chi, baduanjin, etc. As for what kind of training is suitable for you, please consult a professional doctor before proceeding.
