What to do if your lungs are blocked

Pulmonary obstruction, also known as obstructive pulmonary disease, is a relatively serious lung disease. Through investigation, it is found that the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in my country is very high, and it is on the rise every year. This is closely related to environmental pollution, smoking and other bad eating habits. When this disease occurs, it must be treated in time. In addition, bad habits should be quit, especially smoking.

What to do if lung obstruction occurs? 1. Non-drug treatment can be used in the stable period: quit smoking, exercise or lung rehabilitation training, and get flu and pneumonia vaccines. 2. Rehabilitation therapy such as physical therapy and high-pressure negative ion oxygen therapy is beneficial to the recovery of lung function in COPD patients. 3. Psychological adjustment A good mood will help patients to face the disease positively, increase treatment compliance, and establish good interpersonal relationships, which will be more conducive to recovery from the disease. 4. Adjust your diet and eat more fruits and vegetables. You can eat meat, fish, eggs, milk, beans, and buckwheat. Talk less while eating, breathe harder and eat slower. Fat people should lose weight, and thin people should improve their nutrition and eat small meals frequently. 5. Long-term home oxygen therapy: If there is respiratory failure, long-term low-flow oxygen inhalation is recommended for more than 15 hours a day. 6. Drug treatment Existing drug treatments can reduce or eliminate patients' symptoms, improve activity tolerance, reduce the number and severity of acute attacks, and improve health status. Inhalation therapy is the first choice. Educating patients on the correct use of various inhalers and explaining the purpose and effects of treatment to patients will help them adhere to treatment.

Prevention 1. Quit smoking Smoking is the main risk factor for COPD. Without removing the cause, it is difficult to achieve good results with drug treatment alone. Therefore, the key measure to prevent the occurrence and progression of COPD is to quit smoking. Reduce the inhalation of occupational dust and chemicals. For people who are exposed to occupational dust, such as those working in coal mines, metal mines, cotton textile industry, chemical industry and certain mechanical processing industries, labor protection should be done well. 2. Reduce indoor air pollution by avoiding burning biofuels in poorly ventilated spaces, such as burning wood for cooking, lighting a fire indoors for heating, and passive smoking. 3. Prevent and treat respiratory tract infections. Actively prevent and treat upper respiratory tract infections. Get a flu shot in the fall and winter; avoid crowded places; keep the air in your home fresh; and actively seek treatment for upper respiratory tract infections.
