Can ALS cause respiratory failure and suffocation?

ALS is also known as myasthenia gravis, many people don't know about this disease, and are worried about whether they will die if they have ALS.

In fact, at present, the medical community has no absolute answer to the occurrence of ALS. In other words, many people with ALS do not understand why they suffer from such a terminal disease in the world until they die. However, there are many ALS families in the world, which also gives us reason to believe that ALS can be inherited.

In addition, we know ALS also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is a type of motor neuron disease.

So we can understand that it is easy to suffer from such a terminal illness, and the motor neuron should have suffered damage. At present, there is no conclusive conclusion on the cause of motor neuron damage, and there are three main theories:

1. Motor nerve cell membrane is damaged.

One theory is that free radicals cause damage to motor cells. Our body is inseparable from free radicals, if the body's ability to resist oxidation and repair the damage caused by free radicals is weakened, free radicals can bring harm to the body, such as the aging of the human body and so on. Therefore, you can usually eat more vegetables and fruits to enhance the body's antioxidant power.

2. Accumulation of neurotoxins.

The second theory is that neurotoxins build up, causing glutamate to accumulate between nerve cells. Because of the accumulation of time, it leads to damage to motor nerve cells. Neurotoxins are substances that produce toxins to nerves, such as methotrexate, fluorouracil, etc., which will cause great harm to the body.

3. Body growth factors.

The third theory is that the lack of nerve growth factor in the body makes it impossible for nerve cells to achieve continuous normal growth and development. This leads to the occurrence of ALS.

Yes, if your respiratory system fails, then the possibility of suffocation is very high, causing you to be able to earn it. Frequent seizures.

An impartial person can affect respiratory failure, but affect respiratory failure, not to suffocation.

ALS symptoms: ALS, also known as motor neuron disease. Patients with the disease are also known as ALS.

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a group of neurodegenerative disorders of unknown origin that affect upper and lower motor neurons. The clinical features are progressing limb weakness as the main clinical manifestation, and finally progressing to paralysis of the laryngeal and respiratory muscles. In addition to muscle weakness, physical examination can also show positive pathological signs of the lower extremities (such as positive Babinski's sign), muscle atrophy, and tremor of muscle fasciculations.

"ALS" is a common name for "amyotrophiclateralsclerosis" (ALS), and patients with ALS are also known as "ALS".

This is a neurological disease, the neurons that control muscle movement slowly degenerate, die, and the muscles atrophy little by little, and the patient gradually appears and aggravates muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, difficulty swallowing, choking on water, and slurred speech, and gradually loses the ability to exercise and take care of himself, until death.

In ** Sleep Disorders and Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Characteristic Analysis", which can be seen about swallowing and breathing problems under its influence.

The motor neurons with degenerative changes in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are mainly distributed in the pyramidal cells of the cerebral motor cortex, the lower brainstem, the pyramidal tract of the spinal cord and the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, etc., and have not yet involved the sleep regulation centers (thalamus, hypothalamus and pontine nucleus, etc.), so the disorder of sleep structure is mainly indirectly affected by exogenous factors, such as cough, excessive oropharyngeal secretions, sleep-breathing events, restless legs syndrome, nocturia, muscle stiffness or pain, difficulty turning over, anxiety or depression, etc.

The direct cause of death of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is mostly respiratory failure, and sleep-disordered breathing, which is mainly manifested by nocturnal hypopnea, often occurs in the early stage of the disease, although the patient's self-perceived symptoms are not severe, but the rate of decline in respiratory function is related to the degree of respiratory failure.

Sleep disturbances are common in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, including difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep or waking up early, poor or dyspnea at night, nocturia, restless legs syndrome, and nocturnal muscle pain or cramps.

The most famous ALS patient is none other than Hawking.

On March 14, 2018, 76-year-old British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking passed away. His achievements in the field of cosmology and black holes have attracted worldwide attention, and as a patient with ALS, his legendary life is also impressive and respected. People with ALS often live only a few years.

Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 21, and doctors thought he would only live for two years, while he fought the disease with tenacity for half a century. His legend has made more people aware of this rare disease of unknown cause, and his brilliance has shown the tenacity of life, bringing inspiration and hope to all "ALS".

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS, usually has a normal survival time of three to five years after the onset of the disease, and generally no more than ten years. ALS patients will gradually lead to atrophy of limb muscles and trunk muscles and difficulty in movement, which will affect chewing function, respiratory function, swallowing function, and atrophy of respiratory muscles. There is no specific drug for ALS, and the current purpose is to delay the development of the patient's disease.

Yes, all diseases will be painful until the late stage, and ALS will also be painful in the late stage. For example, bulbar paralysis, difficulty swallowing and chewing, and shortness of breath may occur.

The early symptoms of ALS are not prominent, as far as possible as weak as possible, easy fatigue or flesh jumping and other symptoms, but these symptoms will gradually worsen, ALS patients will have two forms of disease, the first is the type of limb onset, the first is progressive atrophy and weakness of the limbs muscles, the second is to follow the condition strictly, the early appearance of difficulty swallowing, choking on drinking water, and soon develop into respiratory failure.

When the body suffers from ALS, this disease is mainly a clinical condition of people with loss of muscle function caused by the gradual loss of motor neuron dysfunction, and clinical symptoms such as dyspnea will also occur.

Yes, but when it's very serious, it will be like this, but it is recommended to hurry up**.

Early diagnosis and differential diagnosis, early neuroprotection and support**, such as lirutai and other drugs, and regular follow-up.

1.General**Support**: Symptomatic**, appropriate exercise.

For example, pay attention to the function of the respiratory tract and digestive tract. If saliva is profuse, a small amount of antihistamine may be given; If there is a lot of phlegm, nebulized inhalation and phlegm-reducing drugs can be given; If you have a depressed mood, you should take anti-depression** and so on. In addition, it is necessary to turn over more often to prevent pressure sores from occurring.

If eating disorders occur, nasogastric feeding or percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) is given.

2.Special**.

At present, the only internationally recognized and FDA-approved** amyotrophic lateral sclerosis drug is Rilutek, and it must be used as soon as possible.

3.Breathe**.

When breathing is difficult at first, regular oxygen or a dual positive pressure ventilator (BIBAP) can be used to help breathing, and if further respiratory failure occurs, a tracheostomy is required and an artificial ventilator is used.

4.Research Progress.

At present, neurotrophic factors, antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, creatine, COQ10, etc., are being used in combination with Lirutai to protect amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the above** has yet to be confirmed by clinical trials. In addition, scientists are also conducting experimental studies on the genes of the disease.

Early symptoms are mild and can be easily confused with other diseases. Patients may only feel some symptoms such as weakness, flesh jumping, and fatigue easily, and gradually progress to generalized muscle atrophy and difficulty swallowing. Respiratory failure develops.

The so-called ALS is medically known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neuron disease. It is mainly a manifestation of gradual atrophy and weakness of the muscles including the bulb and limbs, trunk, chest and abdomen after damage to the upper and lower motor neurons. The early symptoms are relatively mild, and it is difficult to distinguish them from other diseases, which can only be fatigue or muscle beating, and the feeling of fatigue easily, gradually progressing to generalized muscle atrophy and dysphagia, and finally respiratory failure, which can be life-threatening.

For ALS, after the examination is clear, it is necessary to actively diagnose and distinguish as soon as possible, so as to protect the nerves and preserve the function as soon as possible, and improve the quality of life, and the first need to carry out symptomatic treatment. Exercise moderately, pay attention to the function and patency of the respiratory tract and digestive tract. Antihistamines can be used if there is an increase in oral secretions, nebulized inhalation drugs can be used if there is a lot of phlegm, and a ventilator can be used to assist breathing if there is a lack of breathing that causes dyspnea and hypoxemia.

Therefore, sleep structure disorders are mainly indirectly affected by exogenous factors, such as cough, excessive oropharyngeal secretions, sleep-breathing events, restless legs syndrome, nocturia, muscle stiffness or pain, and rollover.

Yes, ALS will affect the respiratory muscles in the later stages, and the body will not be able to breathe normally after the respiratory muscles lose their function.

Muscle atrophy throughout the body. Eventually it develops dysphagia and respiratory failure.

Dyspnea is not necessarily ALS, there are many reasons that can cause dyspnea, you need to go to the hospital to check your body to see what is causing the dyspnea, and you can prescribe the right medicine. Dyspnea is not necessarily ALS, there are many reasons that can cause dyspnea, you need to go to the hospital to check your body to see what is causing the dyspnea, and you can prescribe the right medicine.

ALS is a type of motor neuron disease, most commonly amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. At present, ALS** has not been clarified, and it may be related to genetic factors and poisoning factors. It may also be related to the toxicity of excitatory amino acids, i.e., neurotransmitters, or other causes.

Therefore, ALS is more complicated, and there is no specific method, that is, it cannot be cured immediately after taking medicine or other drugs. The purpose of more** is to delay the progression of the disease, while improving the symptoms caused by the disease and improving the quality of life of patients. For patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, survival time can be prolonged if they receive better care.

1.Infection and immune factors: Some scholars believe that the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is related to the use of viruses and human immunodeficiency virus.

2.Metallic elements: Some scholars believe that the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is related to certain metal poisoning or deficiency of certain elements. Variations in metallic concentrations in the environment may be responsible for the geographically high incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in some regions.

3.Genetic factors: The disease is mostly sporadic, and some patients have a family history.

The common symptoms of respiratory failure in ALS people include general weakness, flesh jumping, easy fatigue, dyspnea and other symptoms, and with the development of respiratory falls, patients will also have difficulty swallowing, difficulty speaking, etc., and then must rely on nasogastric feeding for food. Therefore, patients with such symptoms should seek medical attention in time for examination and diagnosis, and actively cooperate with the doctor**.

Dyspnea is not necessarily the cause of ALS, and there are many types of cases that must be checked in the hospital.

ALS is not considered, it may be a panic attack, a type of anxiety. Diagnosis of ALS requires electromyography (EMG) and evidence of lower motor neuron damage. It occurs only in advanced stages, and breathing is maintained with a ventilator.

This one is not certain.

ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a group of motor neuron diseases. The well-known Hawking is this disease. Early fatigue and fatigue

This will have to be checked in the hospital.
