NO, emphysema cannot be solely blamed on a person's lifestyle. Emphysema is caused by any of a number of lung irritants, which affect the alveoli and trigger the production of excess phlegm.
There is no one answer to this. It is a matter of opinion, and must be answered by each person themselves.
Emphysema is a disease that destroys the tiny air sacs in your lungs. In this case it can even cause lung cancer. A person with advanced emphysema uses 80% of his/her energy to breathe.
Yes
Emphysema is a disease which does tend to get worse once it appears. However, it will get worse faster if a person continues to smoke.
Emphysema causes a higher breathing rate. A person with emphysema can be "air hungry" even when getting external oxygen by mask or cannula.
A person with fibromyalgia should generally eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid caffeine. Otherwise the diet restrictions vary from person to person.
Emphysema is not contagious, and someone with emphysema can be around a child with respiratory problems without endangering the child. Smokers should not be around a child with respiratory problems.
The name is emphysema , not emophysema . It causes destruction in the alveoli in our lungs .So the affected person can't breathe properly and hyperventilation occurs .
No. You should capitalize diseases that have a proper noun in them, like Down's syndrome, or Grave's disease, but things like myocardial infarction or angina, including emphysema should not be capitalized.
During the usual course of emphysema, a person who has never had seizures before will not have any seizures. A person could or might have a seizure if they experience a severe impairment in the ability to breathe--such as if they contracted pneumonia on top of the emphysema--and had even less O2. But generally, emphysema is just a chronic lung disease characterized by inflammation, increased phlegm and coughing, and impaired gas exchange.
Emphysema's effect on vital capacity increases as the disease progresses. Emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) which obstructs the passage of air out of the lungs. As a person exhales with emphysema, the airways close prematurely which reduces the exhalation volume thus reducing vital capacity.
