Ingabe kukhona okunye okuzwakalayo okufana nawe?
Isifo se-Chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) yisona sesithathu esibangela ukufa e-United States, ngemuva kwesifo senhliziyo kuphela nomdlavuza , ngokusho kwamaCenter for Disease Control and Prevention. Kodwa uyazi ingozi yakho ye-COPD?
Ukuxilongwa kwangaphambili kuholela ekwelashweni kweCOPD yangaphambili kanye nethuba elingcono lokusinda, futhi le mibuzo eyisithupha ingakusiza ukuba uhlole ingozi yakho .
Leli phepha lemibuzo liyisinyathelo sokuqala ekutholeni ukuxilongwa okunembile futhi akuhloswanga ukufaka iseluleko esithile sezokwelapha kusuka kumqeqeshi wezempilo oqeqeshiwe. Uma uphendula imibuzo, ungakwazi ukuxoxa ngemiphumela nomhlinzeki wakho wezempilo ukuze uthole ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe.

2. Uke wavezwa yini ukucasuka kwe-airway okufana nentuthu kagwayi noma ezinye izinkungu eziyingozi?
Nakuba ukubhema ugwayi kuyimbangela eyinhloko ye-COPD , ukuvezwa kwezemvelo nokusebenza kwezinye izinhlobo ze-irritants ezindiza umoya nakho kukubeka engozini. Umlando oningiliziwe wokuzibandakanya kwakho "kokumangalisa," njengokubhema ugwayi, ukungcola komoya , nokucasula indawo yendawo yokusebenza kuyisici esibalulekile kunoma yikuphi ukuhlolwa kokungcupheni okuhambisana ne-COPD.

4. Ingabe ukhwehlela usuku lonke ezinsukwini eziningi?
Ukuqhwala kuyindlela yokuzivikela eyenziwa ngumzimba ngomzamo wokugcina imimoya engenayo i-mucus noma imfucuza yangaphandle. Abantu abaneCOPD bavame ukuhlakulela ukukhwehlela okungapheli ; Empeleni, kungenye yezizathu ezivame kakhulu ukubona udokotela wabo. Ukukhwehlela okungapheli isikhathi eside, ukuphikelela futhi akuphenduli kahle ekwelapheni kwezokwelapha. Kungenzeka kube okuphakathi futhi okungewona okhiqizayo, okusho ukuthi akukhiqizi i-mucus. Kungenzeka kubangelwa ukutheleleka kwamapayipi noma kusuka ekucaseni umoya okufana nokubhema ugwayi noma ukungcola komoya. Ukukhwehlela okungapheli kungenzeka, noma kungabi khona, kubonisa isimo esingathí sina samaphaphu esifana ne-COPD, futhi sivumela uphenyo oluqhubekayo kusuka kumhlinzeki wakho wezempilo.
5. Ukhwehlela u-mucus noma i-phlegm kusuka emaphashini akho izinsuku eziningi?
I-mucus ne-phlegm yizinto ezikhiqizwa amaphaphu avame ukuxoshwa ngokukhwehlela noma ukuhlanzwa komphimbo. Abantu abaneCOPD bavame ukhiqiza i-mucus kanye ne-phlegm ngaphezulu kune-average, umuntu onempilo kodwa bangase babe nobunzima obukhulu bokukhipha emaphashini abo.
Uma i-mucus iqoqa emoyeni nasemaphaphumeni, iba yindawo yokuzalanisa amabhaktheriya ukuba yande. Lokhu kuvame ukuholela ekutheleleni kwesifo samaphaphu, esinye sezimbangela eziyinhloko zokukhushulwa kwe- COPD. Noma yimuphi umkhiqizo ongapheli we-mucus wokukhiqiza ungase uveze i-COPD.

Lesi simo singatholakala kalula ngokuhlolwa kwegazi.
Umlando womndeni wakho kubalulekile ukuxoxa nodokotela wakho ukusiza ukufaka ifomu noma ukuphuma, ukuxilongwa okunembile kwe-COPD.
Ukubala Imiphumela Yakho
Uma uphendule u-Yebo kumbuzo owodwa noma emibili yale mibuzo futhi unenkinga yokuphefumula, yenza i-aphoyintimenti nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekela impilo ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka ukuze uxoxe ngezimbangela ezibangelwa izimpawu zakho.
