In early spring, the weather is warm and cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. can induce chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In this regard, experts remind that attention should be paid to the prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in spring.
After TCM conditioning, his cough, cough and asthma symptoms were alleviated
COPD is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is characterized by airflow limitation that is not completely reversible. Symptoms such as cough, expectoration, shortness of breath, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and chest tightness may occur. Professor Jia Zhenhua, director of Hebei Yiling Hospital, said that the weather in spring is hot and cold, which is easy to constrict blood vessels on the body surface, which will not only reduce the body’s barrier function, but also prevent the body from heating the inhaled cold air, making the respiratory mucosa Acute exacerbation of COPD is induced by cold stimulation.
Three years ago, Mr. Guo, a chronic obstructive pulmonary patient over the age of 70, developed symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough and asthma that were progressively worsened after an outing due to the temperature change in spring. He hoped to use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning, so he found Professor Jia Zhenhua, director of Hebei Yiling Hospital.
Professor Jia Zhenhua learned that Mr. Guo had a history of chronic cough and asthma for more than 20 years and was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He often had symptoms of coughing, expectoration and wheezing. He carefully differentiated the syndromes for Mr. Guo. According to Mr. Guo’s actual condition and physical condition, he prescribed medicines for nourishing qi and promoting blood circulation, clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm, relieving spasm and asthma, and dispelling wind and dredging collaterals. After taking the medicine for six days, Mr. Guo’s phlegm was significantly reduced, and the symptoms of wheezing were also alleviated.
Early diagnosis and early treatment
Scientific prevention of COPD
Professor Jia Zhenhua pointed out that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has a long course, and long-term airflow limitation will continue to develop after aggravation. Affects the health of the respiratory system and even the organs of multiple systems in the body. For example, it affects the respiratory system, which eventually leads to respiratory failure and progressive decline in lung function, which cannot be reversed; and also causes the right heart to enlarge due to the affected pulmonary circulation, which affects the heart function and causes pulmonary heart disease (pulmonary heart disease), Induce or aggravate coronary heart disease, arrhythmia and other cardiovascular diseases.
In the prevention and control of COPD, we must pay attention to early diagnosis and early treatment. Professor Jia Zhenhua said that if patients can receive standardized diagnosis and treatment in the early stage, symptoms can be significantly improved and disease progression can be delayed.
For COPD patients, “prevention” is very important. It is necessary to keep warm and cold according to the weather changes. In addition, it is necessary to quit smoking and stay away from “second-hand smoke”; pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, balanced nutrition, drink plenty of boiled water; moderate physical exercise, etc.
Heart and Lung Treatment
Controlling the Development of the Disease
Mr. Guo insisted on taking the syndrome differentiation TCM decoction prescribed by Professor Jia Zhenhua while taking active treatment and strictly following the doctor’s advice. agent. Over the past three years, Mr. Guo’s symptoms have eased and his condition is under stable control.
Professor Jia Zhenhua said that although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is difficult to treat, he has found in many years of clinical treatment that while standardizing the use of western medicine, the application of traditional Chinese medicine can improve the therapeutic effect. The use of traditional Chinese medicine should start from the idea of ”heart and lung treatment together”. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the concept of “heart (lung)-blood-pulse” circulatory system has been initially established very early, and the close relationship between the heart and lungs has been discussed. In the treatment, it is necessary to treat the heart and lungs together. By nourishing Zong Qi and Ying Wei Qi, regulating the biochemistry of Ying Wei meeting, eliminating phlegm and blood stasis, promoting the operation of Qi and blood, and improving symptoms such as asthma, cough and suffocation.
