Perforated lung disease or leaky lung disease (Pneumothorax) is a condition where air leaks from the air sacs into the pleural space. The wind will put pressure on the lungs, causing the lungs to collapse, making it difficult to breathe and panting If a large amount of air leaks out, it will lead to a lack of oxygen and eventually death. There is also a risk of complications. This can lead to major causes of death, such as infection, inflammation, fluid build-up in the lungs, or pulmonary oedema. low blood protein High blood pressure, kidney failure or kidney failure
Very hot weather can damage the lungs and internal organs. Who is at risk? and how to look after yourself
“Pneumonia”, a dangerous complication of flu that can be prevented!
Pneumothorax is divided into 2 type
Primary pulmonary effusion (Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax (PSP)) It usually occurs in patients aged 18 to 30 years. During the thin, tall, fast-growing adolescent, emphysema is often found to be the apex of the lung. Currently, the medical community does not know exactly what caused it. But from the analysis that is possible it can be genetic
Secondary pulmonary effusion (Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax, SSP) usually occurs in people over 60 who smoke heavily. and occurs in patients who already have lung disease partly as a result of smoking habits and it is often found that emphysema will be spread throughout When it burst, the air leaked into the chest cavity. Symptoms are more severe than primary pulmonary effusions. Due to loss of lung function from smoking
Groups at risk of pneumonia
- inheritance
- smoking behaviour
- use a respirator
- tall thin person
Symptoms – The warning signs of pneumonia vary by age, but the main ones are: Patients often have symptoms
- chest tightness
- Shortness of breath or shortness of breath
- abnormal sweating
- have a cough
- easily tired
- dizzy
- rapid heartbeat
- some spots of dark green skin
- low blood pressure
- shock
young people It usually comes with acute chest pain and a dry cough without phlegm without the flu, runny nose, sore throat before.
old people If it is an elderly group or a heavy smoker, it often brings symptoms of shortness of breath. Especially in heavy smokers with chronic emphysema. When the original bad lung tissue is crushed, it becomes easy to tire and you can’t breathe. Chest pain is different for people with heart disease. If a heart disease patient has a tight pain, as if something is pressing on him. But if the lungs leak, there will be a sudden pain on one side of the chest after breathing.
Non-smokers only “lung cancer” and 7 early warning signs
Small particulate matter (PM2.5) To injure the lungs or not?
Nowadays, PM2.5 is another risk factor that should not be ignored. Because there was a case of middle-aged patients running marathons over a period of 5 years, causing a leaky lung condition. The lungs are black like a smoker, although he had never smoked. And usually, the period of time before the symptoms show takes time to accumulate for 10 years or more, but this case is special. Symptoms appear early, or in some cases, younger patients go to concerts suddenly cough and chest pains appear. Mazek found the lungs leaking. which has been chronic for a long time and that day was in a place with loud music causing the aneurysm to burst The symptoms of leaky lung disease are not as obvious as other diseases.
A diagnosis of pneumonia or leaky lung disease (Pneumothorax)
- Measuring blood oxygen levels
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Lung X-ray (chest X-ray)
- Computed tomography (CT-Scan)
treat pneumonia
- high dose oxygen
- insert a tube to remove air from the lungs
- medicated pleural fusion
- operation
Be careful after leaky lung surgery, things not to do in the first two weeks after surgery. is lifting heavy objects It can affect the surgical wound within the period. As for the external surgical wound, it will heal completely within 1 week, while the patient has wind leakage according to the menstrual cycle. The treatment method is to stop menstruation with hormones. Make it like a golden age about 6 – 9 months
as you know Smoking is an external factor caused by behavior that causes illness that not only drains the lungs but can also lead to lung cancer and other diseases. Reducing and quitting is the best solution for this and should keep an eye on the body Spontaneous collapse and various abnormalities Including annual health checkups to keep an eye out for various diseases. which can be caused without knowing
