What do you know about the dangers of breath holding attacks in people with lung cancer?

In the early stage of lung cancer, you can hold your breath for 30 seconds, unless the patient has chronic lung disease and poor lung function, it may not reach 30 seconds. Since it is an early stage of lung cancer, it means that the patient's lesions are relatively small and there are no uncomfortable clinical symptoms. Being able to hold breath for more than 30 seconds indicates that the patient's lung function is still tolerable, surgery is preferred for early lung cancer, and postoperative pathology reconfirms the nature of the disease.

If you can't hold your breath for 30 seconds, you can't operate even in the early stages of lung cancer**.

<> lung cancer holds breath for between 10 seconds and 40 seconds, and the lung function of lung cancer varies depending on the location of the lesion. If the lesion is located around the lungs, it generally does not affect lung function, and the breath-holding time is relatively long. If the lung cancer lesion is located at the hilum and the lesion is large and the airway is narrowed, the lung function is relatively poor, and the breath-holding time is relatively short.

It is recommended to take corresponding ** according to the actual condition, mainly surgery and chemoradiotherapy**.

There is no clear answer to how many seconds lung cancer patients can hold their breath, but lung cancer patients often have symptoms such as shortness of breath and cough, and for patients with locally advanced or advanced lung cancer, the breath-holding time is significantly lower than that of patients with normal lung function. There is no clear relationship between lung cancer and breath-holding time, and it is not possible to determine whether it is lung cancer by breath-holding time. The symptoms of lung cancer are closely related to the location and size of the cancer, whether it compresses and invades adjacent organs, and whether it has metastasized.

Early-stage lung cancer, especially peripheral lung cancer, usually has no symptoms and may not have a significant impact on the duration of breath-holding. As the disease progresses, cough, bloody sputum, chest pain, fever, shortness of breath or wheezing, general weight loss, and massive hemoptysis are rare.

If bone metastases are present, they may present as localized pain and tenderness or as pathologic fractures, more commonly in the ribs, spine, pelvis, and long bones of the extremities. In addition, if it is locally advanced lung cancer or it invades adjacent organs, it can cause phrenic nerve paralysis or superior vena cava compression, resulting in venous distension of the face, neck, upper limbs and upper chest, subcutaneous edema, etc.; pleural implantation, which can cause pleural effusion; After the cancer invades the mediastinum, it can compress the esophagus and cause difficulty swallowing. The occurrence of central nervous system metastases can cause headache, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, manifested as dizziness, personality changes, seizures, weakness of one limb and even hemiplegia; Spinal cord compression can cause weakness in the lower extremities, paresthesias, and loss of bladder or bowel function.

If there are symptoms of breath-holding in lung cancer, it means that the cancer has compressed the trachea or bronchi of the lungs, affecting the normal ventilation function. If you have symptoms of dyspnea, you can go to the hospital for **, surgery**, chemoradiotherapy, targeting**.

The impact of a breath-holding attack on the body of a person with lung cancer is very large, which will lead to coughing up blood and difficulty breathing, and there may be early stage of lung cancer, which is very dangerous to people's lives, and in severe cases, it will lead to metastasis in different parts, and may also cause other symptoms that are life-threatening.

It can lead to the occurrence of hypercapnia and cerebral hypoxia, the heartbeat slows down, the blood flow is reduced, and it may cause cardiac arrest, which requires timely medical attention.

It can cause a lack of oxygen to the brain, which can affect the health of the lungs, and it can cause suffocation, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and sometimes fainting.
