Tritydo Goodbye Worries About Lung Disease

What causes lung disease?
------------*------------
Experts don't know the causes of all types of lung disease, but they do know the causes of some. These include:
* Smoking.
Smoke from ci******es, ci**rs, and pipes is the number one cause of lung disease. Don't start smoking, or quit if you already smoke. If you live or work with a smoker, avoid secondhand smoke. Ask smokers to smoke outdoors. Secondhand smoke is especially bad for babies and young children.
* Radon.
This colorless, odorless gas is present in many homes and is a recognized cause of lung cancer. You can check for radon with a kit bought at many hardware stores. Radon can be reduced in your home if you find out there are high levels.
* Asbestos.
This is natural mineral fiber that is used in insulation, fireproofing materials, car brakes, and other products. Asbestos can give off small fibers that are too small to be seen and can be inhaled. Asbestos harms lung cells, causing lung scarring and lung cancer. It can cause mesothelioma (MEZ-oh-THEE-lee-OH-muh), which is a cancer that forms in the tissue covering the lungs and many other organs of the body.
* Air pollution.
Recent studies suggest that some air pollutants like car exhaust may contribute to asthma, COPD, lung cancer, and other lung diseases.
* Some diseases that affect the lungs, like the flu, are caused by germs (bacteria, viruses, and fungi).

Warning Signs of Lung Disease
-------------*-------------
* Chronic cough:
A cough that you have had for eight weeks or longer is considered chronic. This is an important early symptom that tells you something is wrong with your respiratory system.
* Shortness of breath:
It's not normal to experience shortness of breath that doesn't go away after exercising, or that you have after little or no exertion. Labored or difficult breathing the feeling that it is hard to breathe in out is also a warning sign.
* Chronic mucus production:
Mucus, also called sputum or phlegm, is produced by the airways as a defense against infections or irritants. If your mucus production has lasted a month or longer, this could indicate lung disease.
* Wheezing:
Noisy breathing or wheezing is a sign that something unusual is blocking your lungs' airways or making them too narrow.
* Coughing up blood:
If you are coughing up blood, it may be coming from your lungs or upper respiratory tract. Wherever it's coming from, it signals a health problem.
* Chronic chest pain:
Unexplained chest pain that lasts for a month or more especially if it gets worse when you breathe in or cough also is a warning sign.

Everything You Need to Know About Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
1. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐃?
-----------------
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, commonly referred to as COPD, is a group of progressive lung diseases.
The most common of these diseases are emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Many people with COPD have both of these conditions.
Emphysema slowly destroys air sacs in your lungs, which interferes with outward air flow. Bronchitis causes inflammation and narrowing of the bronchial tubes, which allows mucus to build up.
It’s estimated that about 30 million people in the United States have COPD. As many as half are unaware that they have it.
Untreated, COPD can lead to a faster progression of disease, heart problems, and worsening respiratory infections.

-----------------------
COPD makes it harder to breathe. Symptoms may be mild at first, beginning with intermittent coughing and shortness of breath. As it progresses, symptoms can become more constant to where it can become increasingly difficult to breathe.
You may experience wheezing and tightness in the chest or have excess sputum production. Some people with COPD have acute exacerbations, which are flare-ups of severe symptoms.
𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬:
At first, symptoms of COPD can be quite mild. You might mistake them for a cold.
Early symptoms include:
- Occasional shortness of breath, especially after exercise
- Mild but recurrent cough
- Needing to clear your throat often, especially first thing in the morning
You might start making subtle changes, such as avoiding stairs and skipping physical activities.
𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬:
Symptoms can get progressively worse and harder to ignore. As the lungs become more damaged, you may experience:
- shortness of breath, after even mild forms of exercise like walking up a flight of stairs
- wheezing, which is a type of higher-pitched noisy breathing, especially during exhalations
- chest tightness
- chronic cough, with or without mucus
- need to clear mucus from your lungs every day
- frequent colds, flu, or other respiratory infections
- lack of energy

1. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬?
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the airways leading into your lungs.
When your airways (trachea and bronchi) get irritated, they swell up and fill with mucus, causing you to cough. Your cough can last days to a couple of weeks. It’s the main symptom of bronchitis.
Viruses are the most common cause of acute bronchitis. Smoke and other irritants can cause acute and chronic bronchitis.
2. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬?
When people talk about bronchitis, they usually mean acute bronchitis, a temporary condition that makes you cough. Some people get bronchitis so often that it’s considered chronic bronchitis.
* Acute bronchitis:
Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a viral infection and goes away on its own in a few weeks. Most people don’t need treatment for acute bronchitis.
* Chronic bronchitis:
You have chronic bronchitis if you have a cough with mucus most days of the month for three months out of the year. This goes on for at least two years.
3. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭?
Anyone can get bronchitis, but you’re at higher risk if you:
- Smoke or are around someone who does.
- Have asthma, COPD or other breathing conditions.
- Have GERD (chronic acid reflux).
- Have an autoimmune disorder or other illness that causes inflammation.
- Are around air pollutants (like smoke or chemicals).
4. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲?
When your airways are irritated, your immune system causes them to swell up and fill with mucus. You cough to try to clear the mucus out. As long as there’s mucus or inflammation in your airways, you’ll keep coughing.
5. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬?
A persistent cough that lasts one to three weeks is the main symptom of bronchitis. You usually bring up mucus when you cough with bronchitis, but you might get a dry cough instead. You might also hear a whistling or rattling sound when you breathe (wheezing).
You might have other symptoms, including:
- Shortness of breath (dyspnea).
- Fever.
- Runny nose.
- Tiredness (fatigue).
6. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬?
You almost always get bronchitis from a virus. However, nearly anything that irritates your airways can cause it. Infectious and noninfectious causes of bronchitis include:
- Viruses. Viruses that cause bronchitis include influenza (the flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, rhinovirus (the common cold) and coronavirus.
- Bacteria. Bacteria that cause bronchitis include Bordetella pertussis, Mycoplasma pneumonia and Chlamydia pneumonia.
- Pollution.
- Smoking ci******es or ma*****na (cannabis).
7. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬?
You get bronchitis when your airways swell up and fill with mucus. You can get the viruses and bacteria that cause bronchitis from close contact (shaking hands, hugging, touching the same surfaces) with someone who has them. You don’t have to have bronchitis yourself to pass on a virus to someone else who ends up with bronchitis.
Other irritants, like to***co or pollutants, are in the air you breathe.
8. 𝐈𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬?
Bronchitis itself — inflammation of your airways — isn’t contagious, but the viruses and bacteria that can cause it are. For instance, if you’re sick with the flu, you might get bronchitis too. But when your friend gets the flu from you, their airways don’t get inflamed like yours did.

1. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐚?
Asthma, also called bronchial asthma, is a disease that affects your lungs. It’s a chronic (ongoing) condition, meaning it doesn’t go away and needs ongoing medical management.
2.𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐚 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤?
When you breathe normally, muscles around your airways are relaxed, letting air move easily and quietly. During an asthma attack, three things can happen:
- Bronchospasm:
The muscles around the airways constrict (tighten). When they tighten, it makes your airways narrow. Air cannot flow freely through constricted airways.
- Inflammation:
The lining of your airways becomes swollen. Swollen airways don’t let as much air in or out of your lungs.
- Mucus production:
During the attack, your body creates more mucus. This thick mucus clogs airways.
When your airways get tighter, you make a sound called wheezing when you breathe, a noise your airways make when you breathe out. You might also hear an asthma attack called an exacerbation or a flare-up. It’s the term for when your asthma isn’t controlled.
3. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐚 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞?
Asthma is broken down into types based on the cause and the severity of symptoms. Healthcare providers identify asthma as:
- Intermittent:
This type of asthma comes and goes so you can feel normal in between asthma flares.
- Persistent:
Persistent asthma means you have symptoms much of the time. Symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe. Healthcare providers base asthma severity on how often you have symptoms. They also consider how well you can do things during an attack.
Asthma has multiple causes:
- Allergic:
Some people’s allergies can cause an asthma attack. Allergens include things like molds, pollens and pet dander.
- Non-allergic:
Outside factors can cause asthma to flare up. Exercise, stress, illness and weather may cause a flare.
Asthma can also be:
- Adult-onset:
This type of asthma starts after the age of 18.
- Pediatric:
Also called childhood asthma, this type of asthma often begins before the age of 5, and can occur in infants and toddlers. Children may outgrow asthma. You should make sure that you discuss it with your provider before you decide whether your child needs to have an inhaler available in case they have an asthma attack. Your child’s healthcare provider can help you understand the risks.
In addition, there are these types of asthma:
- Exercise-induced asthma:
This type is triggered by exercise and is also called exercise-induced bronchospasm.
- Occupational asthma:
This type of asthma happens primarily to people who work around irritating substances.
- Asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS):
This type happens when you have both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Both diseases make it difficult to breathe.
4. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐚?
Anyone can develop asthma at any age. People with allergies or people exposed to to***co smoke are more likely to develop asthma. This includes secondhand smoke (exposure to someone else who is smoking) and thirdhand smoke (exposure to clothing or surfaces in places where some has smoked).
Statistics show that people assigned female at birth tend to have asthma more than people assigned male at birth. Asthma affects Black people more frequently than other races.
5. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐚?
Researchers don’t know why some people have asthma while others don’t. But certain factors present a higher risk:
- Allergies: Having allergies can raise your risk of developing asthma.
- Environmental factors: People can develop asthma after exposure to things that irritate the airways. These substances include allergens, toxins, fumes and second- or third-hand smoke. These can be especially harmful to infants and young children whose immune systems haven’t finished developing.
- Genetics: If your family has a history of asthma or allergic diseases, you have a higher risk of developing the disease.
- Respiratory infections: Certain respiratory infections, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), can damage young children’s developing lungs.
7. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐚 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬?
ou can have an asthma attack if you come in contact with substances that irritate you. Healthcare providers call these substances “triggers.” Knowing what triggers your asthma makes it easier to avoid asthma attacks.
For some people, a trigger can bring on an attack right away. For other people, or at other times, an attack may start hours or days later.
Triggers can be different for each person. But some common triggers include:
- Air pollution: Many things outside can cause an asthma attack. Air pollution includes factory emissions, car exhaust, wildfire smoke and more.
- Dust mites: You can’t see these bugs, but they are in our homes. If you have a dust mite allergy, this can cause an asthma attack.
- Exercise: For some people, exercising can cause an attack.
- Mold: Damp places can spawn mold, which can cause problems if you have asthma. You don’t even have to be allergic to mold to have an attack.
- Pests: Cockroaches, mice and other household pests can cause asthma attacks.
- Pets: Your pets can cause asthma attacks. If you’re allergic to pet dander (dried skin flakes), breathing in the dander can irritate your airways.
- To***co smoke: If you or someone in your home smokes, you have a higher risk of developing asthma. You should never smoke in enclosed places like the car or home, and the best solution is to quit smoking. Your provider can help.
- Strong chemicals or smells. These things can trigger attacks in some people.
- Certain occupational exposures. You can be exposed to many things at your job, including cleaning products, dust from flour or wood, or other chemicals. These can all be triggers if you have asthma.
8. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐚?
People with asthma usually have obvious symptoms. These signs and symptoms resemble many respiratory infections:
- Chest tightness, pain or pressure.
- Coughing (especially at night).
- Shortness of breath.
- Wheezing.
With asthma, you may not have all of these symptoms with every flare. You can have different symptoms and signs at different times with chronic asthma. Also, symptoms can change between asthma attacks.
