Several measures to prevent emphysema in winter

Introduction: As the weather turns cold and the temperature plummets, the number of patients with severe obstructive emphysema with dyspnea suddenly increases. Winter is the high incidence period of chronic obstructive emphysema. Patients with emphysema should reduce outdoor activities and avoid the stimulation of dry and cold air. Both colds and respiratory infections can make the illness worse. Quitting smoking, keeping warm and strengthening exercise are effective ways to prevent emphysema. What protective measures are there to prevent emphysema? Quitting smoking has a greater impact on emphysema. The survey shows that the annual pulmonary tidal volume of healthy adults is reduced by about 20 ml, while that of smokers is reduced by 40 ml, so smoking is more harmful to lung function. After quitting smoking, the decline rate of pulmonary tidal volume can be restored to the level of healthy people. Therefore, it is very important for patients with emphysema to quit smoking. Stay away from air pollution, maintain environmental hygiene, reduce air pollution and stay away from industrial waste gas; Go to public places less to prevent colds. If necessary, change to a clean and fresh working environment. Do not use spray. It is easy to catch a cold in cold winter. After every respiratory infection, the symptoms of emphysema are aggravated, and the lung function is affected and decreased. Therefore, it is especially necessary to prevent colds and reduce the number of respiratory infections in winter. Usually, we should pay attention to changes in temperature, actively exercise, enhance physical fitness and improve disease resistance. Usually, people who are tired and weak are prone to catch a cold and belong to lung qi deficiency can choose traditional Chinese medicines such as Astragalus membranaceus, Cordyceps sinensis, Gecko and Rhodiola, or Chinese patent medicines such as Yupingfeng Powder, Qiwei Poison Pill and Gecko Dingchuan Capsule to supplement lung qi deficiency. Taking ointment in winter can also reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases. If necessary, inject influenza vaccine and pneumonia vaccine, supplement immune preparations such as thymosin, improve the body's immunity, and reduce the number of respiratory infections. Warm reminder because more than 90% emphysema is developed from chronic lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma. Therefore, the treatment of emphysema should first be the treatment of primary diseases such as chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma. Only by controlling these primary diseases can we stop the development of emphysema. Walking more and exercising more at ordinary times can increase the endurance of the body, and often doing moderate exercise in fresh air is conducive to the recovery of the body.
