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. How should I deal with bullous emphysema?Doctor's answer:
Patients with emphysema are advised to undergo thorough examinations at specialized outpatient clinics in hospitals. They can take some corticosteroid medications, pay attention to keeping warm, maintain a stable and clean environment, and avoid exposure to irritating and toxic gases. Patients should adjust their daily routines to establish a regular schedule, such as going to bed early and waking up early without overworking, to ensure sufficient deep sleep. In terms of diet, it is important to focus on light and balanced meals, paying attention to the combination of meat and vegetables.
