C.O.P.D effects your body greatly. It blocks the airways of the lungs with thick mucus, making it difficult for the sufferer to breathe
it effects the respiratory system (the lungs)
in emphysema the surface of exchange is reduced
acinus desry the alvli and smoking is mager cause of emphysema
There is no cure for emphysema-- except lung or heart-lung transplant (which likely would not be done). THC will NOT cure emphysema. The person using THC just won't care as much that they can't get air-- and, because of that effect on the body/brain, the person could stop breathing from THC.
The body would not have widespread aches and pains. Emphysema primarily affects the lungs, and secondarily the heart and brain. However, that does not mean a patients cannot have a pain condition along with their emphysema diagnosis.
It slowly decreases it over time.
A pink chest rash is NOT a symptom of emphysema. It is more likely a negative side effect from a medication. Call your doctor.
If you are on steroids to treat inflammation that causes emphysema, your body can add weight. If you are also retaining fluid from heart disease, your weight can increase.
Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain of smoking effects on the body often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure. Emphysema makes it difficult to breath and cannot be cured.
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.
