Chronic Bronchitis And Emphysema

If you are suffering from chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema, acute bronchitis seems like

nothing more than a cold. This condition is one in which severity is a serious issue for your well being.

Chronic bronchitis is a lung disease. It, along with emphysema, is known as COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This condition is one that refers to the obstruction of the air passageways that stops you from breathing normally. You can have both emphysema and

chronic bronchitis at the same time. Here are some facts you should know about chronic

bronchitis.

1. COPD claims some 122,000 deaths each year in the US, as claimed by a study done

in 2003. It is one of the leading causes of death.

2. The largest risk factor in patients that get COPD is that of smoking. 80 to 90 percent

of those that suffer from this condition will be smokers. 90 percent of them will die from it because they smoked.

3. Female smokers are more likely to get COPD than men are.

4. If you are a victim of air pollution, second hand smoke, or have a history of infections

of the respiratory system, you have an increased risk of getting COPD.

5. 19 percent of those that suffer from COPD will get it from their work environment.

It is estimated that some 11 million people in the United States alone have chronic bronchitis or emphysema yet many more are believed to suffer from it but are under diagnosised by it. In the population of aged Americans, of a frightening 700,000 hospital discharges, 70 percent of them were in people that are over the age of 65 (in 2004) showing the real risk that this condition poses to those that are older.

Those that suffer from chronic bronchitis start by having an inflammation of their bronchial tubes. These are your air passageways, remember and therefore are very important to be clear so that air can move easily in and out of them allowing you to breathe.

During your initial bouts of chronic bronchitis, your symptoms are the same as those that a

person with acute bronchitis will face. There is a heavy discharge of mucus from your coughing and the cough itself is a tell tale sign of chronic bronchitis.

One thing that your doctor’s will determine is if there is something else wrong that could possibly be causing your bronchitis in the first place. Some will have additional conditions like asthma that can lead to this problem. But, when there are no underlying causes, bronchitis can be

labeled as the cause of your illness and then treated as such.

When you have a bronchitis bout, your bronchial tubes become inflamed and swollen. Each

time that this happens, the lining of those tubes becomes scarred. Over time, the more irritation that happens the more excessive mucus production will become. Your tubes lining will become

thickened because of the scarring.

As this happens, your cough becomes more and more troublesome. The excessive mucus and

the scaring lead to problems with air flow. You can’t breathe as easily as you did. Still, the progression worsens so that your lungs become scarred themselves.

The Lifestyle Changes That Are Necessary

If you are suffering from chronic bronchitis, there are necessary lifestyle changes that will in fact save your life. If you plan to continue to worsen, keep doing what you are doing now. If you want to improve your health, you have to make very important yet very difficult decisions. There’s no easy way around it. Unfortunately, giving up some of your freedoms will improve your chances of surviving what chronic bronchitis will do to you.

Through a few changes in your lifestyle, you will increase your longevity. You will not add a more punishment to the condition that you are already facing. What’s more is that you give your body the chance to improve some of the damage that’s been done to you.

You knew we were going to say it, but smoking is the cause of your chronic bronchitis and

therefore you simply must stop doing it. This is the hardest part of the process of improving your lifestyle in the hopes of prolonging your life.

If you continue to smoke, you continue to add damage to your lungs and your bronchial tubes, worsening your condition, pushing you farther and faster through the stages of chronic

bronchitis and ultimately shutting off your oxygen supply completely.

If you stop smoking, you stop adding additional damage to your lungs. You slow the progression of the disease significantly and, in some case, your body can repair some of the damage that has been done. Although the most difficult decision that you have to make, it is the one that will have the most significant difference in the life of a person suffering from chronic bronchitis.

The good news is that there is quite a bit of help to the smoker today that can aid them in

improving their chances of stopping this habit.

Smoking, including that of cigarette smoke and even marijuana smoking damages the lungs and

is one of the general causes of chronic bronchitis.

If you work in an area that the air quality is poor, then you need to improve this quality or stop working there. Chronic bronchitis can be brought on by the air that you breathe if it is not as clean as it should be.

Chemicals in the air as well as pollutants can do the same damage as smoking does. Therefore, you need to take into consideration the need for improvement of the air quality that you breathe.

If the air that you breathe is not healthy, then improvement is necessary. Remove contaminants that are in the air. Reduce the use of chemicals that can also cause pollution. If this is your work environment, speak to your supervisor about moving to a more clean air area. In addition,
