Nothing just happens, especially if it is related to health. No matter how we assure ourselves, there are no absolutely healthy people, someone is less sick, and someone is more — all this is natural.
Nowadays, shortness of breath has become a very common disease. This is a disease of the respiratory system, characterized by a change in the depth, frequency and basic rhythm of breathing. There are three types of dyspnea: inspiratory, expiratory and mixed. Respiratory dyspnea is characterized by difficulty in inhaling, expiratory shortness of breath, and mixed - both.
Very often shortness of breath occurs when walking. This is due to the fact that the stress on the respiratory system increases, which leads to shortness of breath. Regardless of whether you are an athlete or not, have been doing something or have never tried it - absolutely everyone has minimal shortness of breath. Especially often it happens in people who abuse cigarettes and alcohol.
Also, shortness of breath when walking happens with many acute and especially chronic diseases and injuries of the respiratory system. This category includes shortness of breath with bronchitis and shortness of breath with pneumonia. Often it occurs instantly, and also abruptly passes.
We all know that bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi (not lungs, as many people think, namely the bronchi). This disease is divided into two forms, acute bronchitis and chronic, which differ significantly from each other in etiology, pathogenesis and therapy. Shortness of breath with bronchitis occurs regardless of form and is treated only under the supervision of a doctor.
Pneumonia is pneumonia of an infectious nature. Shortness of breath with pneumonia occurs more often than with bronchitis, because in this case, the alveoli are inflamed - thin-walled vesicles, which serve to saturate the blood with oxygen. All treatment should be carried out only under the supervision of a doctor, without any initiative.
In fact, shortness of breath is a very dangerous disease. It is accompanied by an increase, then a decrease in the frequency of respiration, up to its stop. If you do not help a person in time, then a fatal outcome may occur.
In order to stop choking when walking, you should exercise in the following way: three deep breaths, then a break in a minute (it is better to try not to breathe at all) and again three deep breaths. Try to hold out for 5-7 minutes, while training your lungs.
Shortness of breath when walking occurs in most of the world's population. Often this is a manifestation of respiratory failure. The body enters a state where the external respiration system is not able to independently provide a normal and acceptable gas composition of the blood, or when this composition is maintained due to the hyperactive work of the external respiration system. An insufficiency of the respiratory system occurs acutely (as with mechanical asphyxiation) or proceeds chronically (as with emphysema).
Separately, it should be said about asthma - a sharply occurring attack of suffocation. An asthma attack can only be stopped with a special inhaler.
Caring for people suffering from shortness of breath includes constant monitoring of the rhythm, frequency and depth of breathing. For a person who has never had shortness of breath, 16-20 breaths in one minute will be characteristic, this is the so-called breathing rate. All results are daily entered into a special table, according to which then an overall picture of the disease is compiled.
Shortness of breath while walking also occurs with pulmonary edema. It is accompanied by the release of foamy liquid from the respiratory tract. If you are not a doctor, then it is better not to do anything on your own, because you can only do harm. In this case, the patient requires the immediate assistance of specialists.
At one time, a lot of doctors were engaged in the development of breathing exercises, with which you can prevent shortness of breath when walking. After all, as they say: "Forewarned, then armed." All of them are based on a successive reduction in an increase in the frequency and rhythm of breathing. Accustomed to such stresses on the respiratory tract, your body will be more relaxed about physical activity, and the risk of getting shortness of breath when walking will be significantly reduced.
