Any disease is dangerous and frightening in its own way. In addition, any disease proceeds in its own way. If we are talking about such diseases that are constantly progressing, then treatment should be started immediately. Effects? Yes, the consequences of even a minor illness in some cases will be very serious.
The airways and lungs are part of the large respiratory system. It includes the nose, mouth, of course, lungs, pharynx, larynx and trachea.
Lung diseases can be of various origins: allergic, occupational, infectious and others.
Allergic lung diseases
Allergic lung diseases develop very often, because they are affected by a large number of antigens that are contained in the air: dust, pollen and various other chemicals.
The likelihood of allergic diseases increases contact with irritants in the workplace. Such reactions in the lungs can occur not only after inhaling antigens, but even after eating any food or after taking medication.
Occupational lung disease
These diseases cause harmful particles such as aerosols, gases or vapors that penetrate the lungs during work, where specifically in the airways, lungs, such a substance settles, and what kind of disease develops depends on the type and size of particles that a person inhales.
Large particles, for example, can settle in the upper respiratory tract, and the smallest can reach the lungs.
Infectious lung diseases
Pneumonia is an infectious disease that can occur as an independent disease or as a complication from other diseases. It is not contagious and cannot be transmitted to another person. One of the reasons for the development of the disease is severe hypothermia. Also, the reasons may be: physical activity, nervous overload or mental factors. Inflammation of the lungs can cause a strong piercing wind in the cold season, cold drink after tiring physical exertion. Hypothermia, the most common cause of inflammation, causes sweat retention, which leads to a rush of blood inside the body, which means overload.
Croupous inflammation - pulmonary edema. This lung disease begins with severe chills and dull pain in the chest area, precisely in the affected area. At the same time, breathing is difficult, cough, dry skin and fever appear. In more severe cases, breathing at first is frequent and difficult. Coughing can sometimes be accompanied by sputum production. The pulse becomes frequent, the skin is hot, reddish or yellowish. Signs of recovery include hot sweat, rapid breathing, and a pulse similar to sputum cream. Sometimes pulmonary edema can be allergic in nature.
Pleurisy - usually manifests itself as a complication of pneumonia. Sometimes it can be a consequence of tuberculosis, rheumatism, or other allergic or infectious diseases.
Symptoms of pleurisy may be different:
fever;
- stitching pain when inhaling under the ribs;
- rapid and shallow breathing;
- cough.
All lung diseases usually become more frequent in autumn and winter, especially in rainy autumn after a dry summer. Cold air is always harmful to the lungs. Often, lung diseases lead to liver disease. You can exercise your lungs, for example, speak loudly or inhale the air intensely to make the harmful substances in them rarefied.
The described lung diseases are only a small part of all possible diseases. If the disease is not treated, then it can become chronic or fatal, so you need to carefully monitor your health.
