Asthma is a chronic illness that causes inflammation and constriction of the airways. The symptoms include wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Treatment consists of inhalers (both relievers and preventers), lifestyle adjustments, and avoiding triggers such as allergies or pollution.
Asthma, if not adequately treated or controlled, can be fatal. According to studies, one-third of asthma deaths were due to mild illness. As a result, it is critical to manage your asthma and limit your exposure to contaminated air to the greatest extent feasible.
Dust, pollen, cockroaches, house mites, air pollution, fragrances, tobacco, and virus infections are all potential causes of asthma. It can be life-threatening for some people and may necessitate action.
To reduce asthma attacks, you should determine what triggers your asthma attack and devise a treatment plan, get vaccinated for pneumonia and influenza, monitor your breathing pattern, seek medical attention immediately for any symptoms that may precede the attack, and take medications as prescribed by your doctor.
When the air path between the mouth, nose, and lungs is disrupted and there is inflammation or swelling of the bronchial tubes, you may have severe bronchitis. A prolonged cough and cold can cause acute bronchitis in youngsters, and older individuals might also have breathing problems if medical attention is not sought quickly.
COPD is made up of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Your doctor or pulmonologist will diagnose COPD based on your symptoms, history, physical examination, and test results.
COPD is no cure, but with treatment, you can feel better, be more active, and slow the progression of the disease. Treatment includes quitting smoking, avoiding lung irritants such as chemical fumes, dust, excessive air pollution, secondhand smoking, medications, vaccination, and oxygen therapy.
Sleep is one of the most important variables influencing a person's health. How one wakes up in the morning is a good predictor of whether or not they slept well. As a result, if you have been snoozing your alarm too frequently, you may be harming your health. Experts believe that under typical circumstances, people should be able to wake up feeling rejuvenated. If not, you may have a sleep disorder. This can induce neurological changes in your body and lower productivity at work.
Sleep apnea is one of the most common conditions that frequently goes undetected. Sleep apnea should not be disregarded because its symptoms are so diverse that they might disrupt your hard day at work and lead to significant consequences. The most common symptoms include waking up with a painful or dry throat, loud snoring, occasionally waking up with choking, lack of energy during the day, sleepiness while driving, morning headaches, restless sleep, forgetfulness, and mood changes.
It is a percutaneous treatment that involves inserting a needle into the pleural cavity and removing pleural fluid using the needle or a large bore catheter. Diagnostic thoracocentesis is the removal of a small volume of pleural fluid, whereas therapeutic thoracocentesis is the removal of a substantial volume of fluid to relieve the patient's symptoms.
It is a treatment that involves inserting a tube through the chest wall into the pleural cavity to remove air or fluid. Its indications include pneumothorax (air in the lungs), hemothorax (blood in the lungs), pleural effusion (fluid/water in the lungs), and pleurodesis.
PFT evaluates how much air you can breathe in and out, how quickly you can do so, and how well your lungs perform to transfer oxygen to your bloodstream. PFT is a painless test in which a technician will instruct you to take a deep breath and blow as hard as possible into a tube linked to a PFT machine. PFT is the most critical test for diagnosing and treating COPD. PFT is analogous to an ECG for the lungs.
