We know that smoking is the main cause of lung cancer, and people who are often exposed to second-hand smoke are also prone to lung cancer. However, as the saying goes, "We will not die until we reach the Yellow River." Only when the real disease comes can smokers realize the harm and make up their minds to quit smoking. So we just tell the old smokers to quit smoking, which may not achieve good results. If they know that the body has issued an alarm, it is possible to remind smokers.
We all know that smoking can hurt the lungs, so if there is something wrong with the lungs, will the body send out any signals? Now, let me tell you something in detail.
1, lymphadenopathy
Lymph is a colorless and transparent liquid, which exists all over the body and is densely covered with lymphocytes. It plays a very important role in the immune system, such as the lymph nodes in the neck and armpit. If there is an inducement, it will lead to lymph node enlargement. This usually means that there is inflammation in the body, but it may also be caused by cancer cell metastasis.
If the lymph node metastasis of lung cancer may compress the laryngeal nerve, resulting in hoarseness, if the lymph nodes are swollen enough to compress the airway, it will cause dyspnea.
Therefore, people who smoke for a long time must pay attention to the health of their lymph nodes, especially the lymph around the neck and clavicle, to see if there is any abnormal protrusion or swelling, whether there is a hard feeling when pressing the lump, and whether there is any pain. If so, they must be vigilant and check the health of their lungs.
2. Pulmonary nodules are prominent
Nodules are actually small protrusions on the surface of human body or inside tissues. Pulmonary nodules are protrusions that grow in the lungs. Because harmful substances such as nicotine and carbon monoxide in tobacco can damage our lungs, thus forming small nodules in the lungs.
Although lung nodules do not represent lung cancer, many people develop lung cancer from lung nodules. Especially for people who smoke for more than ten years, lung nodules will be more and bigger.
You have a lump on your finger.
There is a bulge at the end of the finger or toe, which is obviously hypertrophy, and the finger feels like a wooden stick, which is called "clubbed finger" in medicine. Most lung cancer patients will have clubbed fingers in the early stage. This is because the lungs are sick, and there is a lump blocking the airway, which leads to long-term hypoxia of the fingers, endocrine disorders, and abnormal proliferation of the fingers.
Generally, after most lung cancer patients undergo lung cancer surgery, this clubbing phenomenon will disappear. If long-term smokers can refer to their own situation.
1, drink more Qingfei tea to maintain the lungs.
Drinking more tea can moisten the lungs, and water is a tar nemesis, so smokers must pay attention to drinking more water. If you soak some lung protection tea in water, it will be more conducive to lung health.
2, do some lung-nourishing medicine to eat.
Stew fresh lily, loquat and crystal sugar medlar in water for 2 hours on medium fire, and drink after cooling. This medicated diet for nourishing lung can clear away lung heat, promote fluid production, relieve cough and benefit qi.
Step 3 nourish the lungs with laughter
Laughter is the cheapest "lung medicine" People can dilate their lungs when they laugh. Laughter is the best way to "exercise". In the process of laughing, the human body will unconsciously take a deep breath, thus dredging the respiratory tract, ensuring smooth breathing, helping to discharge excess polluted air in the body and absorb more fresh oxygen.
Therefore, smokers must smile more at ordinary times, which can spread the lung and nourish the lung.
Of course, smoking is harmful to health. No matter whether the body has these three bulges or not, it is best to quit smoking as soon as possible, which is good for others and good for your health.
