Chronic Bronchitis Signs and Symptoms
#1
Sad 
[size=4][b]Chronic Bronchial Asthma - Chronic Bronchitis Signs and Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]Chronic bronchitis is the inflammation or swelling of the air passageways (bronchi) in the upper respiratory system. This is usually accompanied by the excessive production of mucus. Chronic bronchitis can manifest as many different symptoms, and is often hard to diagnose because the symptoms are so similar to other diseases that affect the lungs and respiratory system. Today, one in twenty Americans currently suffers chronic bronchitis. Even though the number has been steadily falling since the 70s, the number of patients suffering from chronic bronchitis still concerns doctors as it is often fatal. Below are some common signs and symptoms of chronic bronchitis:

[list][*]Fatigue - Fatigue is often experienced by individuals suffering from chronic bronchitis.[*]They become tired just after waking, or other random times throughout the day.[*]This is because the amount of oxygen in their blood is significantly less than those who don't suffer from the disease.[*]A substantial amount of the words here are all inter-connected to and about Bronchitis Often.[*]Understand them to get an overall understanding on Bronchitis Often.[/list]

Swelling of the Legs and Ankles - Because chronic bronchitis can often lead to further complications, due to a lack of oxygen in the blood, it may cause the skin to turn blue or the extremities to swell in the later stages of chronic bronchitis. Swelling of the legs is also an indication of congestive heart failure, so individuals experiencing this symptom should see a doctor right away.

[size=large][b]Respiratory Infections[/b][/size][hr]Chronic bronchitis is often the cause of respiratory infections. Because more mucus is produced by the body in those suffering from respiratory infections, this makes the upper respiratory system very damp and warm. This can be a breeding ground of sorts for infection, and makes infections very hard to treat once they are contracted.

[size=large][b]Shortness of Breath[/b][/size][hr]This occurs in most people suffering from chronic bronchitis. The shortness of breath may be aggravated by overworking or even just mild activity. As the disease progresses the shortness of breath may even come from simply walking a short distance, or walking down some stairs. Even if you are a stranger in the world of Bronchitis Signs Symptoms, once you are through with this article, you will no longer have to consider yourself to be a stranger in it!

[list][*]Coughing - Coughing caused by chronic bronchitis is usually first noticed in the early morning, just after waking up.[*]The individual may cough for several hours after waking up.[*]As the disease progresses, this coughing will last for longer into the day, and in some cases never goes away.[*]Bronchitis is the substance of this composition.[*]Without Bronchitis, there would not have been much to write and think about over here! [/list]

Bronchitis symptoms will most commonly begin to be manifest following a bout of the flu or the common cold. The body cannot manage to heal itself fully, and symptoms such as heavy coughing will begin to be manifest, this coughing could be dry, or phlegmy. The cough produced by bronchitis can potentially last for several weeks, also bringing with it the possibility of pain in the chest and abdomen, as well as difficulty breathing to the point of wheezing.

You have been suffering with bronchitis symptoms for longer than two weeks or have had a fever for even just a couple of days, you may need to call your physician's office for an appointment. You need to rule out pneumonia. Also, if you start coughing up blood or have phlegm with a rusty tint, you need to be checked immediately. If a virus has caused the bronchitis, your physician will not be able to do much to treat the bronchitis. The doctor can treat you with medications for relief of the symptoms associated with bronchitis. However, only time and rest will help the bronchitis, itself. At any cost, do not accept a prescription for antibiotics. They may affect your immune system's ability to attack the disease and eradicate it. Also, they will not help your bronchitis. Accept the way things are in life. Only then will you be able to accept these points on Bronchitis. Bronchitis can be considered to be part and parcel of life.

[list][*]Advil, Tylenol, and aspirin are three of the most often used medications to treat bronchitis symptoms.[*]However, aspirin is not advised for anyone eighteen years old or younger.[*]A complication known as Reye's Syndrome can occur which could be fatal.[*]Drinking a lot of liquids can help to avoid the dehydration normally associated with fever.[*]It can also relieve an irritated throat from constant coughing.[*]Another treatment for the cough is over the counter cough suppressants.[*]Ignorance is bliss they say.[*]However, do you find this practical when you read so much about Bronchitis?[/list]

Bronchitis include a cough that produces mucus (sometimes called sputum), trouble breathing and a feeling of tightness in your chest. Acute bronchitis is most often caused by one of a number of viruses that can infect the respiratory tract and attack the bronchial tubes. Even one puff on a cigarette is enough to cause temporary paralysis of the tiny hair like structures in your lungs, called cilia , that are responsible for brushing out debris, irritants, and excess mucus. Chronic bronchitis is defined by the presence of a mucus-producing cough most days of the month, three months of a year for two successive years without other underlying disease to explain the cough. People who have chronic bronchitis are more susceptible to bacterial infections of the airway and lungs, like pneumonia. Pneumonia is more common among smokers and people who are exposed to secondhand smoke. :o.

Breathing moist air from a humidifier, hot shower, or sink filled with hot water. The heat and moisture can help keep mucus in your airways moist so it can be coughed out easily. Bronchitis are versatile as they are found in all parts and walks of life. It all depends on the way you take it.

[size=large][b]Causes of Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]The common Causes of Bronchitis : The most common cause of chronic bronchitis is smoking. Heredity. Weather changes. There is a vast ocean of knowledge connected with Bronchitis. What is included here can be considered a fraction of this knowledge!

Some cases, the doctor will recommend using a medicine called a bronchodilator that makes breathing easier. Persistent symptoms and more severe disease are treated with anti-inflammatory medicines called steroids (of the glucocorticoid type) which are given with an inhaler.

[list][*]Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a viral infection but can also be caused by a bacterial infection.[*]Use of drugs.[*]Symptoms of Bronchitis Bronchitis Common play a prominent part in this composition.[*]It is with this prominence that we hope people get to know more about Bronchitis Common.[/list]

Mild fever Coldness Chills Mild chest pains Treatment of Bronchitis Medicines called bronchodilators that are usually prescribed to treat asthma will help to open the bronchial tubes and clear out mucus. There are many varieties of Chronic Bronchitis found today. However, we have stuck to the description of only one variety to prevent confusion!

Medicines called mucolytics which thin or loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up can also be used to treat chronic bronchitis.

When a cold is allowed to continue, the infection may extend down into the lungs and become chronic. Occasionally, if it is not cured, it may encourage the development of tuberculosis or some other serious chronic lung disease.

Some forms of stomach trouble may be a cause of bronchitis and even pneumonia. This is particularly true of those persons who bring up acid and other stomach contents into the mouth while asleep, and then aspirate it into their lungs.

[size=4][b]Does a Bronchitis Cough - Bronchitis With Asthma - Understand Significant Facts[/b][/size][hr]What is Asthamtic Bronchitis? This is a disease which is very close to bronchitis in that the airways are inflamed or irritated. And because the disease is similar to other respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis and emphysema..it is much harder to recognize this type of illness a person may have.

Quote:Lingered exposure to smoking is 90% of the risk! pollutants or irritants will no doubt lead to asthmatic bronchitis if the person is already suffering from chronic bronchitis. No definitive link is known about why this is but some physicians say that environmental factors influence the illness. If there is the slightest possibility of you not getting to understand the matter that is written here on Bronchitis Treatment, we have some advice to be given. Use a dictionary!

[size=large][b]Symptoms of this Disease are:[/b][/size][hr]* Wheezing * Cough * Difficulty breathing * Chest discomfort * Pain and soreness and * an increased infection vulnerability.

[list][*]Misdiagnosis can happen since there are more than one illness associated with the ones listed above.[*]Sometimes, doctors would like chest x-rays to make sure pneumonia is not setting in.[*]This can also lead to the treatment of the disease.[*]Slang is one thing that has not been included in this composition on Bronchitis Treatment.[*]It is because slang only induces bad English, and loses the value of English.[/list]

[size=large][b]You are Tired of Being Sick and Going It Alone, You First Need an Accurate Diagnosis[/b][/size][hr]It's only then that you'll get the medication you need to heal. Further complications can arise if left untreated for too long. To stave off other complications, it's wiser to face the issue than ignore it. We needed lots of concentration while writing on Chronic Bronchitis as the matter we had collected was very specific and important.

[list][*]Those who suffer from severe chronic bronchitis is capable of developing asthmatic bronchitis as well as those of persistent asthma.[*]Unfortunately, a bacteria infection causes chronic bronchitis but not asthmatic.[*]When particles pass through the cilia of the bronchial tubes, it aggravates this type of condition.[*]Mucus is then produced to cover lungs, soft tissues and trachea by the bronchial tubes.[*]The magnitude of information available on Chronic Bronchitis can be found out by reading the following matter on Chronic Bronchitis.[*]We ourselves were surprised at the amount! [/list]

[size=large][b]What Treatments are Available for this Illness?[/b][/size][hr]Bronchodilators, antibiotics and steroids can be used to treat the illness.

Inhalers and bronchodilators only provide temporary relief but with ongoing treatment improvements will be noticeably different. Writing this composition on Bronchitis Disease was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature. Make this contribution worthwhile by using it.

[i]Oddly enough, several factors can cause this type of disease: * Bronchial Hyperactivity; * Immunologic Abnormalities; and * Severe Childhood Infections[/i]

Even though the symptoms of both asthma and asthmatic bronchitis are one in the same, the latter will suffer them with them in larger degrees of intensity. Maintaining the value of Bronchitis was the main reason for writing this article. Only in this way will the future know more about Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]Salbutamol or Another Type of Reliever Medicine[/b][/size][hr]Although easier said than done, physicians always advise patients to avoid irritants including dust and pollen. Patients can also get their flu shot as a necessary precaution against any bacteria or virus looking to invade your body.

[list][*]Mucus is created in such an enormous amount that it blocks the air from getting into the lungs very well.[*]This is quite common for those with persistent asthmatic bronchitis.[*]Give yourself a momentary pause while reading what there is to read here on Asthmatic Bronchitis.[*]Use this pause to reflect on what you have so far written on Asthmatic Bronchitis.[/list]

[size=large][b]When a Disease is Not Treated Early on, It can Always Develop Into Other Forms of Illness[/b][/size][hr]Three things can help establish if you have asthmatic bronchitis. They include, having a clinical exam, a laboratory testing analysis must be done and pulmonary testing. The information available on Bronchitis Treatment is infinite. There just seems to be so much to learn about, and to write about on Bronchitis chest burning.

[size=large][b]Bronchitis is a Disease that can be Tenacious as a Stubborn Dog[/b][/size][hr]It is caused by a severe inflammation or the blocking of the air tubes in the lungs. Bronchitis generally occurs in two forms: acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis is the lesser condition of the two but it can still last for several weeks and may result in pneumonia if it is not taken care of right away. Chronic bronchitis, on the other hand, can eventually lead to more serious heart problems.

[size=large][b]Is a Common Mistake to Take Antihistamines, Antibiotics, or Decongestants for Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]These drugs do not relieve inflamed windpipes and can even dry the mucus linings of the lungs. They can also make the mucus so thick that coughing can be very difficult and painful. Antibiotics don't usually help because most bronchitis is not caused by bacterial infections. Antibiotics hurt your chances of getting better by killing off friendly micro-organisms and making certain bacteria strains more antibiotic-resistant. A common herbal antidote for bronchitis is to try drinking half a cup of horehound tea three times a day. This can help to thin and release mucus that accumulates in the lungs of bronchitis patients. We needed lots of concentration while writing on Chronic Bronchitis as the matter we had collected was very specific and important.

You can take a number of vitamins to promote healing of bronchitis as well as preventing it. Vitamin A in large doses taken daily for up to 30 days can promote faster healing of irritated mucus membranes and strengthens the whole immune system. Vitamin C taken along with it can boost your immunity also and helps build up better collagen and mucus linings in the lungs. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects your lungs from air pollution. Zinc works with vitamin A to heal lung membranes and other tissues. An herb called astragalus taken daily in small doses can also help reduce symptoms associated with chronic bronchitis.

Bronchitis can be recognized by the following symptoms: frequent and painful cough with phlegm, high fever, sore throat, chest pain, harsh sounds when breathing and chills. Acute bronchitis is the common result of an infection like the flu or an untreated cold. Chronic bronchitis is usually caused by a lung irritant like cigarette smoke, allergies, dust and all other forms of air pollution. The magnitude of information available on Lungs Bronchitis can be found out by reading the following matter on Lungs Bronchitis. We ourselves were surprised at the amount!

[size=large][b]There are Many Things You can Do to Prevent the Onset of Bronchitis in Any Form[/b][/size][hr]The most important thing to do is to stop smoking and avoid secondhand smoke. Avoid pollution by staying indoors during smog alerts and refrain from using sprays for cleaning, insect repelling, or deodorizing. These contain a large number of potentially harmful ingredients that can weaken your lung tissues if used too often. If you are sensitive to dairy products, avoid them because they can increase mucus formation. When you notice the beginning of a cough, get plenty of rest and apply mild heat on your chest and back before going to bed. Drink at least eight to 10 glasses of clear water every day and eat foods that are high in vitamin A, C, E and zinc. Foods that are high in these nutrients including eggs, chicken, pecans, citrus fruits, sunflower seeds, broccoli, sardines and avocados. Writing this composition on Bronchitis was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature. Make this contribution worthwhile by using it.

Brauer, M.D. This impairs the ability of the tiny hairs that line the bronchial tubes, called the cilia, to sweep mucus and other debris out of your respiratory tract. With your bronchial tubes inflamed and your cilia impaired, your body resorts to its coughing mechanism to keep those bronchi clear. There is a lot of jargon connected with Bronchitis Caused. However, we have eliminated the difficult ones, and only used the ones understood by everyone.

The disease comes in two forms: acute (lasting less than 6 weeks) and chronic (reoccurring frequently for more than two years). In addition, people with asthma also experience an inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes called asthmatic bronchitis We have included the history of Bronchitis here so that you will learn more about its history. It is only through it's history can you learn more about Bronchitis.
