How to treat early COPD?

summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is currently one of the diseases with high incidence rate and high mortality rate worldwide. But more attention to their own body, not to check, and eventually developed into a more serious disease. In China, COPD has become one of the three most lethal health killers. The prevalence rate of COPD in people over 40 years old in China is 8.2%, which means that there are about 40 million COPD patients in China. With the aging population, air pollution, smoking and other factors, the prevalence of COPD is still rising. Today let me talk about how to treat early COPD?.

How to treat early COPD?

First: long term smoking, poor environment, early lung function test, smokers as the main high-risk group of COPD, must quit smoking. Smoking is harmful to health, in addition to COPD, but also easy to cause coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, lung cancer and other diseases. The high-risk groups who smoke for a long time, come into contact with kitchen smoke and dust, work in the environment with serious air pollution, and repeatedly cough, expectoration and asthma should immediately go to the regular hospital for lung function examination, so as to make a clear diagnosis and start treatment as soon as possible, and never miss the best treatment time.

Second: practicing tai chi and walking more can effectively relieve the symptoms of COPD. The lung function of patients with COPD has been damaged. They are prone to shortness of breath and dyspnea when climbing stairs or doing exercises. Many patients simply do not exercise. COPD patients should take appropriate exercise, such as some breathing exercises, or practicing Taiji, usually walking and cycling in situ. These exercises can relieve the symptoms of shortness of breath and help improve the quality of life of patients.

Third: to prevent cold, avoid overwork, prevent COPD, prevent cold is a very important measure. COPD is easy to attack when the climate suddenly becomes cold. In addition, physical overwork and smoke stimulation are also easy to induce. Because the patients are usually the elderly, the body's resistance is poor, it is easy to be affected by these external factors.

matters needing attention

We need to reshape the concept of diagnosis and treatment of COPD, early diagnosis and early treatment of COPD, just like the early treatment of hypertension and diabetes, so as to save the lung function of COPD patients as soon as possible and delay the progress of the disease.
