Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Is it possible for emphysema to cause daily back pain?Doctor's answer:
Emphysema can cause back pain. Patients with emphysema may experience shortness of breath and sweating when exerting themselves. It may also lead to respiratory distress or conditions such as tuberculous pleurisy, so emphysema can indeed cause back pain. When suffering from emphysema, active treatment should be taken to prevent respiratory weakness. Participate actively in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health. Maintain personal hygiene.
