Pulmonary Emphysema Treatment, Symptoms and Causes 

This content explains pulmonary emphysema treatment, symptoms and causes. The lungs play a vital role in our respiratory system; they enable air exchange between the body. Its environment ensures that oxygen sustains metabolic activities and the release of the carbon dioxide by-product. 

When there is shortness of breath, it can result in health problems that could be fatal if left untreated. One of such life-threatening conditions that affect the lungs is pulmonary emphysema.

What is pulmonary emphysema?

Pulmonary emphysema is a lung disease that weakens the air sacs' internal walls (alveoli), making the spaces more prominent, reducing the lungs' overall surface area. The damaged alveoli create difficulty breathing, which restricts the supply of oxygen to the body's cells.

Also, as some carbon dioxide remains in the lungs, few spaces are available for fresh oxygen to enter the lungs. Because of this, people with pulmonary emphysema produce a wheezing sound when they inhale and exhale. 

Pulmonary emphysema often results in chronic bronchitis, and these two conditions are known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 

Symptoms of pulmonary emphysema

Most pulmonary emphysema cases can exist for several years without showing any symptoms until the condition becomes severe. The common symptoms of the diseases include:

• Shortness of breath, especially after a little physical activity
• Blue or grey colouration on lips and fingernails when pressure applied to them
• Fatigue or general body weakness

Cause of pulmonary emphysema

• Smoking: This is the primary cause of pulmonary emphysema and linked to about 80% of all diseases. Non-smokers who inhale the dispelled smoke from smokers can be affected. As the toxic fumes from cigarettes and marijuana weaken and damage the cells in the alveoli walls. 
• Industrial fumes and dust: People working in specific industries inhaled chemical fumes, which may cause damage to lung cells.
• Air pollutants: Apart from people in industrial environments, people can inhale chemical fumes from pollutants carried in the air. People who live or spend time close to industries, roadsides, and refineries (as seen with the black soot around Port Harcourt) are susceptible to the disease.
• Age: Another risk factor is age because the muscles lining the lungs' walls get weaker as people get older. 

Pulmonary emphysema treatment

• Medications: Doctors usually prescribe inhales bronchodilators to help open up the airway and clear the lungs to make breathing easier. Other medications can also be defined based on the diagnosis. Be sure to consult a health professional before taking any medicines.
• Lifestyle changes: Quit and avoid smoking, engage in light exercise regimes that involve frequent rests, drink plenty of water to free up the airways, eat healthy foods and wear nose masks in areas prone to air pollution. Practice deep breathing to help improve.

• Breathing therapy: Practicing breathing techniques like deep breathing can help to improve lung function. 
• Surgery: Severe lung damage due to pulmonary emphysema may require a surgical operation. It removes parts of the affected area and leaves a larger surface area of functional lung cells.
• Herbal pulmonary emphysema treatment:  The efficacy of herbal products with no side effect to the body separates it from other treatments method. Cordy Active and Cardibetter are proven herbal pulmonary emphysema treatment products.
