Symptoms of pneumonia and emphysema?

summary

Pneumonia emphysema is one of the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, usually associated with chronic tracheitis. Because the air is trapped in the damaged or inelastic alveoli, the pressure in the lung increases continuously. When breathing, the alveoli inflate excessively, expand and even rupture. Because the gas cannot be exchanged, the lung tissue appears persistent expansion, which leads to the weakening of the elasticity of lung fibrous tissue, the damage of alveolar septum and the increase of solvent. As a result, the patient's body is often in a state of insufficient oxygen, resulting in dyspnea, asthma and chest tightness. Symptoms of pneumonia and emphysema? Let's study and discuss with you.

Symptoms of pneumonia and emphysema?

1. The symptoms of early pneumonia and emphysema were not obvious, or they felt dyspnea when they were tired. With the development of the disease, dyspnea gradually aggravated, so that they were not competent for the original work; The onset of emphysema is slow, with a history of cough and expectoration for many years, and the symptoms worsen in winter for many years. With the development of the disease, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, chest tightness and fatigue gradually increased.

2. When combined with acute respiratory tract infection, cough, expectoration, shortness of breath increased rapidly, and dyspnea, cyanosis and pulmonary hypertension may occur. Emphysema, in the original cough, expectoration and other symptoms on the basis of a gradual increase in dyspnea. Pneumonia is an acute infection.

3. When the patient's condition worsened, there were barrel chest, weakened respiratory movement, prolonged expiratory, weakened or disappeared trill, too clear sound at percussion, narrowed or disappeared boundary of heart murmur, decreased boundary of liver murmur, distant heart sound, weakened breath sound and moist rale in lung; Some emphysema patients have complications: spontaneous pneumothorax, acute pulmonary infection, chronic pulmonary heart disease. In the later stage of the disease, respiratory failure and right heart failure can be caused.

matters needing attention

1. Avoid smoking and inhaling second-hand smoke. 2. avoid volatile solvents such as spray cleaners, pesticides, paints, aromatics, etc. in an air less circulated environment. 3. The range hood should be turned on during cooking to avoid excessive smoke inhalation. 4. When cleaning indoors, you should wear a mask to protect your nose and mouth and avoid inhaling dust. 5. Keep warm and prevent respiratory tract infection such as cold. 6. Avoid eating irritant food and irritating tracheal mucosa. 7. Do more aerobic exercise to improve vital capacity and lung function.
