What are disease that occur in the respiratory system?
Asthma Bronchitis Lungs cancer! Emphysema , Cough etc.
Can Bronchitis re-occur once treatment is completed?
Yes bronchitis can re-occur once treatment is completed. Many studies have shown that the symptoms of bronchitis can re-occur for many reasons including smoking and exposure to pollution and other irritants.
Does cyanosis in pulmonary valve stenosis occur in adults as well?
That is very rare to find cyanosis due to heart disease in adult. But then any thing is possible in biology.
What can I expect from late stage emphysema?
As the disease progresses, coughing and shortness of breath occur
When can the early stages of emphysema occur?
Early stage (of any condition or disease) means, generally speaking, "it has recently started showing signs and symptoms". In emphysema, this begins with chronic lung irritation and inflammation.
Are there copious amount of phelgm in early stages of emphysema?
The first sign of emphysema is shortness of breath when you are exerting yourself. Eventually, this shortness of breath may occur even when you are at rest.If you are experiencing excess phlegm but have no shortness of breath yet, you are most likely suffering from bronchitis.Bronchitis symptoms are:Difficulty breathing (this can also be caused by emphysema)Coughing (with or without sputum)Wheezing (this can also be caused by emphysema)Excess mucus productionIn advances cases, a bluish tint to the lips and eventually the skin.If you are suffering bronchitis symptoms, you should see a doctor. Bronchitis can cause you to be susceptible to a variety of breathing problem, including pneumonia, if you come down with a cold or flu, and will make it more difficult to achieve complete recovery even if you do not develop further problems. It also makes it much more likely that you will suffer a heart attack -- already a good possibility if you are a long-term smoker.
What areas of the world is bronchitis found?
Bronchitis can occur globally, but it is more prevalent in areas with high levels of air pollution, such as urban regions in developing countries. Additionally, it is common in regions with high rates of smoking and respiratory infections. Seasonal outbreaks can also occur in colder climates, particularly during winter months when respiratory illnesses are more frequent. Overall, bronchitis affects populations worldwide, regardless of geographic location.
Why Impaired swallowing cannot tolerate oral intake choking during feeding cyanosis?
Impaired swallowing can result in difficulty coordinating the muscles needed for safe swallowing, leading to a higher risk of choking when eating and drinking. Cyanosis can occur due to lack of oxygen when choking, as the airway may be partially or fully obstructed. This combination of impaired swallowing, choking during feeding, and cyanosis highlights the need for prompt evaluation and intervention to address swallowing difficulties and prevent complications.
What are symptoms for Bronchitis?
The symptoms include coughing, phlegm, difficult breathing etc. You might have to use an inhaler if you have trouble breathing. This can occur anytime of the year.
Compare and contrast the signs and symptoms of emphysema and chronic bronchitis?
Chronic Bronchitis is characterized by excessive mucus production amd its pooling in lower respiratory passage ways, which severely impairs ventilation and gas exchange. Patients may become cyanotic as a result of chronic hypoxia. They are called "blue bloaters" because hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention occur early in disease.Emphysema is characterized by permanent enlargement and destruction of alveoli. The lungs lose their elasticity and expiration become an active process called "pink puffers." Symptoms don't show up til later in the disease.
How does death occur from bronchitis?
when death occurs for bronchitis is when you don't take your medication and the air ways to your lungs start closing and it is very hard to breath so when the air ways get to swollen ( closed ) you can die because you can hardly breath or can not at all and that would really suck and it is scary
Can you have bronchitis and a cold at the same time?
Yes, you can! Bronchitis can also occur after the flu has passed or is passing, as your alveoli may not be able to get rid of all the germs from the flu and then it may develop into a bacterial infection... bronchitis. You could also contract the diseases separately!
