Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Could you please tell me which department pulmonary emphysema belongs to?Doctor's answer:
If lung discomfort reappears recently, or symptoms of difficulty breathing occur, it is advisable to promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination. If diagnosed with emphysema, timely treatment should be initiated. Currently, emphysema is a common respiratory disease, and once it reappears, it should be given high attention. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption, is recommended. Generally, patients with emphysema are advised to follow up in the respiratory department.
