1. Severe cough
Cough is an important manifestation of unhealthy lungs. As we all know, a cold can also cause a severe cough, but it can be effectively relieved as long as it is treated in time. However, if it is not a cold, you will still cough violently when you sleep at night. At this time, you need to pay attention to whether the lungs are damaged, leading to severe cough. It is best to go to the hospital in time to avoid the situation getting worse. Especially those who usually smoke heavily need to pay more attention.
Wake up in the morning
Many people suffer from insomnia. When it comes to insomnia, most people blame the stress of life, but often ignore the cause of lung disease. In fact, the lungs are unhealthy and often wake up around 3 am. About 3 am is a good time to detoxify the lungs, and if you wake up frequently at this stage, toxins will accumulate in the lungs, which will lead to related diseases over time. Therefore, when you often wake up in the early morning, you need to pay attention to whether it is caused by pulmonary insufficiency.
3. Difficulty breathing
Lung governs breathing, and lung function is impaired, which will naturally affect breathing. Moreover, some people suffer from chest tightness and shortness of breath when sleeping at night, which is mostly related to poor lungs. If this happens frequently, you'd better go to the hospital for examination in time. After all, this is a matter of life and death.
Generally speaking, your lung function is measured by vital capacity.
The vital capacity of adult males is about 3500 ~ 4000 ml, and that of adult females is about 2500 ~ 3000 ml. The vital capacity mainly depends on the expansion and contraction of the chest wall.
How to judge lung function without measuring vital capacity?
1, has never suffered from major lung diseases and chest malformations before.
2, can be competent to play basketball, long-distance running, swimming and other heavy physical activities, five floors without shortness of breath (except other diseases)
The above personal views … are for your reference.
First, do you feel unwell at ordinary times, such as coughing, hemoptysis, difficulty breathing, etc.
Second, do a chest DR, you can check whether there are any big lesions in the lungs, such as tuberculosis and advanced lung cancer.
Third, a chest CT can screen millimeter-scale lung lesions, nodules, pneumonia and early lung cancer. In this case of COVID-19 pneumonia, CT is an important means of diagnosis and treatment.
Fourth, do a lung function examination to screen for chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Early diagnosis, early detection, early treatment, regular physical examination, timely medical treatment if you feel unwell, and nip the disease in the cradle.
Buy a CT machine at home, look at your lungs every week, and go to the hospital for treatment if you find any problems ... otherwise, you can only worry every day. With CT, not only your lungs but all your organs can be monitored at any time, hehehe! Don't worry about the sky falling every day like the ancient alarmists.
As for the situation you mentioned, whether the lung function is normal, whether you have difficulty breathing at ordinary times and whether you have conscious symptoms, you can do lung X-ray, lung CT and lung function examination.
Lung is a very important respiratory organ of human body. Lung people live a long life, and our lives can only be maintained by the normal operation of lungs and gas exchange. However, many people often smoke heavily because of serious environmental pollution, which leads to lung diseases.
How to judge whether your lungs are healthy? Look at these parts and you will know:
1, with thick fingers
The end of the finger looks like a wooden stick, and the knuckles are prominent and obviously thickened and widened, which is called clubbed finger in medicine. When the lungs are sick, they will block the airway, make the lungs lack oxygen, and the fingers can't get enough oxygen supply, which makes the tissues around the fingertips thicken abnormally and the fingertips thicken.
2. The nose is black
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs begin to understand the nose, that is to say, whether the lungs are healthy can be seen from the nose. Usually, the nose of a person with healthy lungs is shiny and reddish. When the lungs are abnormal, the nose will get darker and darker. Especially for people who smoke for a long time or longer, too much toxin will accumulate in the abdomen, which will appear on the nose when it cannot be excreted normally, thus making the nose black.
3. Black lips
When the lungs are sick or suffering from lung cancer, it will affect the blood circulation of the whole body, and it will not allow all tissues and parts of the body to get enough oxygen and blood nourishment, leading to ischemia and hypoxia of the lips, which will lead to blue or black lips. Especially for people who smoke for a long time or are exposed to high pollution, when their lips are purple and black, they need to have a lung examination immediately.
4. Chest pain
Chest pain should pay attention to lung diseases on the premise of excluding cardiovascular diseases. More than half of lung cancer patients will have irregular dull pain or dull pain chest pain, which is caused by central lung cancer invading mediastinum. Also, when lung cancer cells involve blood vessels and peripheral bronchial nerves, it can also cause chest pain.
5, shoulder pain
People who smoke for a long time should be alert to lung diseases if they have unexplained shoulder pain. Because the apex of the lung is far away from the main bronchus, it is surrounded by nerves. When the lung is abnormal, it can compress the apex of the lung or the surrounding pleura, thus causing shoulder and back muscle pain or shoulder pain.
6, arm pain
When lung cancer develops to a certain extent, cancer cells will oppress or invade brachial plexus, which may cause radiation pain. When there is unexplained arm pain, you should be alert to lung abnormalities.
Bad lungs can cause many diseases, the most common of which are:
1, cough and expectoration
2. Suffering from bronchitis and asthma
3. Emphysema
4. Pneumonia
5. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
6. Pulmonary fibrosis
7. Tuberculosis
8. Lung cancer
If the lungs are not good, they should be replenished in time. Recommend an old Chinese medicine formula for nourishing lung, which has a good effect of clearing lung-heat, resolving phlegm, relieving cough and detoxifying;
Orange and green fruit tea
This tea was originally made of herbs, and it was made of oranges, olives, licorice, mint, Siraitia grosvenorii and other materials. Orange licorice can relieve cough and phlegm, clear lung heat, green fruit can produce fluid to quench thirst, clear throat and moisten lung, mint can moisten throat and lung, relieve trachea, and Siraitia grosvenorii can clear lung fire, clear heat and detoxify.
Usually, all the materials can be collected and boiled, or you can directly find the same Kangerfu orange and green fruit tea bag in a treasure for brewing, which is more convenient for pharyngitis.
Stay away from kitchen fumes, automobile exhaust, second-hand smoke, chemical plants, and smoking cessation alcohol. Go outdoors more. Fresh air is good for lung conditioning. Pay attention to the weather change, keep warm and avoid catching a cold.
No matter how old you are, you don't cough, asthma, smoke, sputum or lack of oxygen. Your lungs should be healthy, walk fast, have strong limbs, and you won't feel breathless when you go up to the fourth and fifth floors. Your lungs should be healthy, with large vital capacity and sufficient blood oxygen.
