Got pneumothorax and was discharged for half a month. How to exercise at home?

Pneumothorax refers to the pathophysiological condition of pneumothorax caused by rupture of visceral pleura and gas entering pleural cavity. According to pathophysiological changes, it can be divided into three categories: closed (simple), open (traffic) and tense (high pressure).

If you have been discharged after clinical treatment, you should pay attention to self-care;

First of all, the cold weather will stimulate the aggravation of respiratory inflammation, and multiple alveoli will rupture to form pulmonary bullae, which will lead to gas leakage into the chest cavity and pneumothorax recurrence. Elderly patients with severe respiratory diseases for a long time should pay special attention to this in winter and keep warm in time.

In addition, people who are prone to pneumothorax are generally tall and thin, so in order to avoid pneumothorax, we should maintain good habits and absolutely quit smoking during exercise. Don't push suddenly, hold your breath. Exercise time should not be too long to avoid a sudden increase in vital capacity, and exercise indoors when the weather is too cold.
