Present programme: improvementsLung functionStay awaySlow lungs♪ the trouble ♪
This post is part of a live interview with a client of a good doctor at beijing university's 3rd hospital。
Chronic respiratory diseases, led by slow lung resistance, together with cardiovascular diseases, malignant tumours, diabetes and metabolic diseases, have been listed by the world health organization as one of the world's “four chronic diseases”. In recent years, both morbidity and mortality rates have increased year by year, with more than 100 million people suffering from slow-retarded lungs and 8. 2 per cent of those over 40 years of age, the fourth most common cause of disease worldwide。
In the face of such a high incidence of disease, the people's doctor invited mr. Hepple, director of the centre for respiratory diseases at beijing university's third hospital, to interpret the knowledge of slow-retarded lungs so as to keep the public away from the problem of slow-retarded lungs。
You've got to stick to the medicine
Since slow lung resistance is a chronic disease, it is important that the medications be used consistently and not automatically adjusted. In addition, the symptoms of slow lung resistance include chronic coughing, coughing and breathing, often accompanied by breathing, which presages the severity of your illness, which can increase acutely in the middle, in addition to chronic coughing, coughing and asthma, and sometimes in three symptoms, when coughing, coughing and panting are all aggravated and you come to the hospital. Sometimes hospitalization is also needed, not just for outpatients, and the use of medication increases. If acute increases are repeated, then the quality of life of patients will be reduced more significantly。
Which groups are likely to be at high risk of slowing down
First, it is mainly older persons, and there has been a trend towards middle-aged persons in recent years. Clinical findings indicate that the more it reaches the age of 40, the higher its incidence. One of the larger characteristics of the population with disease is that it tends to be more severe before they can be treated, especially for smoking. It is normal for people who smoke to feel that they have cough and cough symptoms, but it is often when they are heavy or when they are acutely aggravated, cough and cough are very severe, they breathe very heavily, and they are even hospitalized, before they realize that they are sick and the doctor tells him that they have slow lungs。
As slow lung resistance goes beyond asthma, there is also a decline in lung function, and in some cases even respiratory failure is required to see the disease. Thus, there are significant high-risk factors for the elderly, especially the chronically high number of smokers, with attention to early diagnosis. In addition, people with a history of slow lung obstructive families need attention。
Unsymptomatic obstructive lungs should be of particular concern
As we all know, the main symptoms of slow lung resistance are cough, stutter and asthma, while in practice the more relevant standard for clinical doctors is the decline in lung function. There are groups of people, or a significant number of people, with early signs of reduction in lung function, but symptoms may not be significant。
In particular, a lung examination is required for older smokers, who may find problems but have no obvious symptoms. As the progression of different human diseases may be different at this stage, the reduction of lung function may be early but symptoms are not visible. Therefore, the examination of the function of the lung should be taken into account during early diagnosis。
