Can emphysema bullae be cured?
(1) The primary diseases causing this disease, such as chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma and silicosis, should be actively prevented and treated. Because of this disease, lung function is damaged, which affects physical health and resistance, and the two are mutually causal. Therefore, paying attention to aftercare, improving health and resistance are the fundamental ways to improve lung function, and we must establish confidence in healing. This disease is not incurable. (2) According to patients' physical strength, they can actively participate in some appropriate sports activities. For example, jogging is the most complete coordinated exercise of the whole body, which can increase vital capacity and endurance. When jogging, keep breathing evenly and let enough oxygen enter the body. Tai Ji Chuan, soft exercises, walking and so on can improve your health. Patients who keep exercising for many years can keep healthy better than those who rest more and exercise less. (3) Patients with emphysema are most afraid of cold in winter, and they are also prone to catch a cold. After each respiratory infection, their symptoms will get worse and their lung function will be affected. Cold-resistant exercise can improve their resistance. Since beginning of spring, I have rubbed my head, face and exposed parts of upper and lower limbs with my hands for several times every day for a few minutes until my skin turns red. Soak the towel in cold water in summer and wring it out, then rub it all over your body, 1-2 times a day. Wipe your face with cold water after autumn. In this way, after cold-resistant exercise, you can reduce colds and respiratory infections. (4) When emphysema patients have lung infection, they must stay in bed, actively resist inflammation, relieve spasm and asthma, and take medicine on time. Don't rush to make up for it, in principle, it is still based on eliminating evil. After infection control, it can be gradually adjusted. If you are usually tired and weak, you can easily catch a cold. You can choose Astragalus, Ginseng, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Atractylodes macrocephala, etc. (5) Pay attention to nutrition and improve the body's resistance. Choose foods with high protein content and rich vitamins, such as dairy products, eggs and gravy. Usually, the diet should be light, not too salty, and should be quantified regularly. Eat more fruits and vegetables and less seafood, such as shrimp, yellow croaker and hairtail. Stop drinking and smoking. Patients with emphysema should strive for outdoor activities, be able to walk and walk fast. Even sitting outdoors in the sun is beneficial. The key is to do what you can, because of the place and time. Do health massage every day at ordinary times, especially for Xiang Ying (on both sides of the nose), Renzhong, Fengfu (in the middle of the back of the pillow) and Hegu, and massage 60 times counterclockwise. Washing your face and nose with cold water is helpful to improve your body's resistance, especially for patients with emphysema. When patients with emphysema breathe, in order to get enough ventilation, they often take chest-expanding breathing. However, patients with emphysema often use auxiliary respiratory muscles because of their different heights, calcification of chest ribs and limited range of chest movements. Therefore, when breathing, shrug your shoulders, stretch your neck, contract your abdominal muscles and lift the diaphragm, which will not only increase the ventilation, but also accelerate the breathing frequency and aggravate the symptoms of hypoxia. If the patient can relax the tense auxiliary respiratory muscles (upper chest muscles and abdominal muscles) and strengthen abdominal breathing, the respiratory function can be improved. Practicing abdominal breathing is the main exercise for patients with emphysema. Patients choose comfortable posture, pay attention to relax the muscles of shoulders and back, and exercise begins with exhalation. When breathing, the lips are slightly retracted, the gas is slowly (consciously) blown out from the mouth, and the upper abdomen slowly sinks. When you are not used to training at first, you can press your abdomen and fluctuate up and down. When inhaling, close your mouth tightly, inhale slowly through the nasal cavity, and your abdomen will bulge. After inhaling, you can pause for a while before exhaling. Abdominal breathing training can increase the up-and-down movement of diaphragm, take a deep breath and breathe slowly, and can obviously improve the ventilation function and ventilation function, which is very beneficial to emphysema patients. Giving correct exercise guidance to patients with emphysema is helpful to expel bronchial endocrine, prevent premature airway occlusion and increase ventilation. Reasonable exercise can improve heart and lung function, improve the body's disease resistance, especially to prevent colds, upper respiratory tract infections and other diseases. Therefore, exercise for patients with emphysema is particularly important. As long as you keep practicing, you will achieve remarkable results.
