Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I currently have mild emphysema and have some difficulty breathing. In this situation, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
General patients with mild emphysema often experience mild physical discomfort, especially in breathing, so when facing this issue, it is necessary to engage in a lot of exercise to strengthen their physique. Patients with these two conditions should exercise outdoors every day, such as taking walks. If possible, they should opt for brisk walking. At the same time, sitting outdoors in the sunlight is also very beneficial. The main activity is to learn diaphragmatic breathing. For this, it is necessary to choose a comfortable posture and relax the muscles of the shoulders and back. When breathing, slightly enlarge the mouth and slowly exhale through the mouth, while the upper abdomen slowly sinks. Repeating this activity can also alleviate emphysema.
