Patient's question:
I have had chronic bronchitis and pneumonia for many years. Recently, I feel that my shortness of breath has become much worse. I'm afraid I might develop emphysema. What are the main symptoms of emphysema?Doctor's answer:
According to the condition you purchased, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and cor pulmonale are diseases that expand, and this is an impossible process. Therefore, after long-term chronic bronchitis, it will definitely lead to local bronchiole inflammation, reducing expansion ability. The alveoli, due to inflammation, will lose elasticity, leading to emphysema and shortness of breath.
