How the body causes the lungs to suck in fiber

Pulmonary fibrosis is a general term for a large group of diseases, which is medically classified as diffuse pulmonary interstitial disease (referred to as pulmonary interstitial disease), and there is currently no good way, which is called "cancer that is not cancer". Generally speaking, pulmonary fibrosis is the scarring of lung tissue, because the alveoli are gradually replaced by fibrous substances, the lung tissue becomes hard and thick, and the ability of the lungs to exchange oxygen into the blood is gradually lost, resulting in patients suffering from varying degrees of hypoxia and dyspnea, the condition is reversed, coughing and wheezing, painful, and finally dying due to respiratory failure.

There are many causes of pulmonary fibrosis, including environmental, occupational, physical and chemical factors, such as asbestos, mineral dust, chemotherapy drugs, radiation injury, and inhalation of harmful gases. Exogenous allergic alveolitis caused by exposure to pigeon droppings, animal fur, moldy and dead grass, etc., can also lead to pulmonary fibrosis. Some rheumatic immune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, etc., can be accompanied by pulmonary fibrosis, and some even occur in the anterior.

People with pulmonary fibrosis may perform the following breathing exercises to improve their lung capacity:

Deep breathing: Inhale slowly through the nose and let the inhaled air reach the lower end of the lungs as much as possible, lift the ribcage up during the inhalation, and slowly bulge the abdomen. When enough air is drawn into the lungs, you should hold your breath for 5 seconds, and after repeated exercise, you can extend the breath-holding time to about 10 seconds.

After holding your breath, exhale slowly through your mouth for 5 to 10 minutes.

Pinch your nose to breathe: Press and hold your left nostril with your left thumb, slowly inhale from your right nostril, and inhale the air you inhale to your forehead, and when your lungs are saturated with air, hold your breath for about 8 seconds and exhale the air. Press and hold the right nostril to start over, 5 times on each side.

Breathing during exercise: When walking, you can consciously gradually increase the amount of breathing, remember to breathe in slowly, exhale quickly, do not exercise less than 15 times a time, and exercise 2 or 3 times a day.

First of all, there are many reasons for coughing in this condition, and if fibrosis occurs in the lungs, most of the patients may have bacteria or tuberculosis in the original area. If fibrosis has already developed in the lungs, this is mostly irreversible, so continuous low-flow oxygen is required if necessary**.

There are many fibers in the air in the usual living and working environment, which is caused by long-term inhalation in the lungs, which is very tolerant of workers in textile factories.

Pulmonary fibrosis, the name of the disease, that is, the lung interstitial tissue is composed of collagen, elastin and proteoglycans, when fibroblasts are chemically or physically damaged, they will secrete collagen to repair the lung interstitial tissue, and then cause pulmonary fibrosis; It is the result of the body's repair after the lungs are damaged.

It will weaken the respiratory function, and if the disease progresses to the extreme, it will cause people to die of respiratory failure.
