[size=4][b]Chronic Bronchitis or Emphysema - We Do Not Notice When We Hyperventilate![/b][/size][hr]Practical medical evidence indicates that people can breathe 2-4 times more air every minute and be unaware that their breathing is too heavy. This is exactly the case for patients with heart disease, asthma, bronchitis, chronic fatigue, panic attacks, sleeping problems and many other conditions. The physiological norm for breathing is about 4-6 liters per minute, while medical research found 10-20 liters for the sick people.

Thousands of medical studies showed and proved other negative effects of overbreathing, such as, abnormal excitability of all nerve cells, bronchoconstriction, reduced activity of many immune cells, muscular spasms, and biochemical changes in rates and directions of many chemical reactions that require normal CO2 content.

[list][*]Usually, people notice that their breathing is heavy when they breathe more than 25 l/min at rest (or 4-6 times the norm!).[*]Such acute episodes of overbreathing are normal during stroke, and asthma, heart, and epilepsy attacks.[*]Writing about Bronchitis Heart is an interesting writing assignment.[*]There is no end to it, as there is so much to write about it![/list]

[size=large][b]First, CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), the Gas We Exhale, is Crucial for Dilation of Blood Vessels[/b][/size][hr]Check it yourself. Start to breathe very heavy in and out just for 1-2 minutes, and you can lose consciousness (faint or pass out) due to low blood supply for the brain. There is another simple test to see the effects of breathing on blood flow. When you get a small accidental bleeding cut, hold your breath and accumulate CO Your blood losses can increase 2-5 times! But in real life, pain and sight of blood make breathing heavier preventing large blood losses and providing valuable time for blood to coagulate. It is a mechanism useful for our survival likely based on natural selection.

There are 2 parts in his system: breathing exercises and common sense activities, which, as they found, influence breathing. For example, when we breathe through the mouth or sleep on the back at night, our oxygenation index can drop almost 2 times! In relation to other activities, Doctor Buteyko even suggested simple rules for better oxygenation: "Eat only when hungry and stop in time", "Go to sleep when really sleepy and get out of the bed in the morning", "Exercise with nasal breathing only", etc. Many other factors are useful for better oxygenation, as Russian doctors found, for example, raw diets, good posture, normal thermoregulation, relaxation and meditation techniques, forgiveness, moderation, hatha yoga postures, cold shower, etc.

[list][*]The second main cause of tissue hypoxia for hyperventilators relates to the Bohr effect, a physiological law discovered about a century ago.[*]This law explains how, why, and where our red blood cells release oxygen.[*]The release takes place in those tissues that have higher CO2 content.[*]Hence, those organs and muscles that produce more CO2 get more O2.[*]Try to imagine the picture: the blood arrives in certain tissues and releases more oxygen in the places with high CO2 concentrations.[*]But when we hyperventilate, low CO2 content in all tissues suppresses O2 release from hemoglobin cells and we suffer from hypoxia.[/list]

Quote:Restoration of oxygenation and normal breathing parameters are the main goals of the Buteyko breathing method. The method was developed by Russian Doctor Konstantin Buteyko, who trained about 200 Russian medical professionals to apply this technique for various health conditions. These doctors found that if the patient manage to normalize main parameters of breathing, no symptoms and no medication are required for asthma, bronchitis, heart disease, and many other conditions. Keep your mind open to anything when reading about Bronchitis. Opinions may differ, but it is the base of Bronchitis that is important.

The most surprising effect of any form of hyperventilation is reduced body oxygenation and shorter stress-free breath holding time (index of oxygenation). Why? There are 2 related biochemical effects of over-breathing. Accept the way things are in life. Only then will you be able to accept these points on Bronchitis. Bronchitis can be considered to be part and parcel of life.

Symptoms: Bronchitis is the inflammation of the tubes that lead from the throat to the lungs. The inflammation tends to impede the process of breathing because phlegm tends to stick to its insides. The treatment outlined in the section of asthma should help in bronchitis too, but the following procedures are being repeated here for the benefit of the readers. More on Natural Home Remedies for Bronchitis, Herbal Remedy.

[size=large][b]Treatment: the Sufferer from Bronchitis Must Fast for as Long as the Acute Symptoms Last[/b][/size][hr]He should only take water and orange juice. An all fruit diet should be taken when the fever attendant upon bronchitis has gone down and the breathing is easier. A hot epsom salt bath every night or alternative nights will be beneficial during the acute stage of the disease. A wet pack should be applied to the upper part of the chest every day. Hot towels (dipped in hot water and wrung out) applied to the chest are also helpful. The phlegm sticking to the insides of the bronchial tubes will be dislodged and the sufferer will feel an immediate relief in breathing. After the hot compresses, a cold compress should be applied. After relief is obtained, suffer should take to natural feeding because if that is not done, the disease is likely to recur and it may become chronic. Breathing exercises, a friction sponge (rubbing the body with a hand towel dipped in water and wrung out) should be taken regularly. Hot epsom salt baths should be taken twice or thrice weekly. Spinal manipulation under the guidance of a trained naturopath should be recourse to in obstinate cases.

It can be caused by a lot of different micro-organisms - viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites that are too small to see - but it can also be caused by corrosive chemicals breathed into the stomach or toxic gases from a fire.

The most common symptoms of pneumonia are shortness of breath; chest pain, especially when breathing in; coughing; shallow, rapid breathing; and fever and chills. Coughs usually bring up mucus, also called sputum. The sputum may even be streaked with blood or pus. In serious cases, the patient's lips or nail bed will appear blue due to lack of oxygen. We have used clear and concise words in this article on Bronchitis to avoid any misunderstandings and confusions that can be caused due to difficult words.

Treatment If you have community-acquired pneumonia, your doctor will prescribe you antibiotics immediately, often prior to tests on the phlegm sample. Antibiotics treat pneumonia caused by bacteria. Antibiotics are usually given straight away as bacterial infections are the most common cause of pneumonia and antibiotics are generally very effective. It is usually safe to assume that the infection will respond to standard antibiotics such as amoxicillin. Generally for chest infections you should take antibiotics for about seven days and you must complete the full course. It is always better to use simple English when writing descriptive articles, like this one on Bronchitis. It is the layman who may read such articles, and if he can't understand it, what is the point of writing it?

[size=large][b]Pneumonia is an Inflammation of the Lung Tissue[/b][/size][hr]It is usually due to infection. Pneumonia tends to be more serious than bronchitis. (Bronchitis is an inflammation or infection of the large airways - the bronchi.) Sometimes bronchitis and pneumonia occur together which is called broncho-pneumonia.

[list][*]Causes Pneumonia usually starts when you breathe the germs into your lungs.[*]You may be more likely to get the disease after having a cold or the flu.[*]These illnesses make it hard for your lungs to fight infection, so it is easier to get pneumonia.[*]Having a long-term, or chronic, disease like asthma, heart disease, cancer, or diabetes also makes you more likely to get pneumonia.[*]Quality is better than quantity.[*]It is of no use writing numerous pages of nonsense for the reader.[*]Instead, it is better to write a short, and informative article on specific subjects like Bronchitis.[*]People tend to enjoy it more.[/list]

You have severe pneumonia, you'll be hospitalized and treated with intravenous antibiotics and put on oxygen. If you don't need oxygen, you may recover as quickly at home with oral antibiotics as in the hospital, especially if you have access to qualified home health care. Sometimes you may spend three or four days in the hospital receiving intravenous antibiotics and then continue to recover at home with oral medication. Keeping to the point is very important when writing. So we have to stuck to Bronchitis Pneumonia, and have not wandered much from it to enhance understanding.

Symptoms People with infectious pneumonia often have a cough producing greenish or yellow sputum, or phlegm and a high fever that may be accompanied by shaking chills. Shortness of breath is also common, as is pleuritic chest pain, a sharp or stabbing pain, either experienced during deep breaths or coughs or worsened by it. People with pneumonia may cough up blood, experience headaches, or develop sweaty and clammy skin. Other possible symptoms are loss of appetite, fatigue, blueness of the skin, nausea, vomiting, mood swings, and joint pains or muscle aches. We have used a mixture of seriousness and jokes in this composition on Bronchitis Pneumonia. This is to liven the mood when reading about Bronchitis Pneumonia.

Chronic bronchitis is medically interpreted as a chronicle respiratory condition characterized by cough and sputum release at least three months per year two years consecutive. The diagnose of chronic bronchitis is only established when other possible respiratory or cardiovascular diseases have been excluded. :o.

No improvements in chronic bronchitis or in its prevention were assembled by the administration of oral antibiotics or corticosteroids, expectorants, chest physiotherapy or even postural drainage. In cases of chronic bronchitis accutisations oral corticosteroids and antibiotics, and especially inhaled bronchodilators have proven to be most useful. The systemic actions of all these substances on cough haven't been carefully studied so they mustn't be indicated on long-term treatment. Also central anti-cough medication like Codeine can only be used for short-term exacerbation of cough, as it blocks the brain idea of coughing and dangerous amounts of sputum can gather inside the bronchia. It was with keen interest that we got about to writing on Chronic Bronchitis Exacerbations. Hope you read and appreciate it with equal interest.

Time the chronic bronchitis produces a decrease of the respiratory inflow due to the thicken walls and to the pathological changes in pulmonary emphysema. In this case the inflammation has already affected the lungs, and the condition is known as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Aiming high is our motto when writing about any topic. In this way, we tend to add whatever matter there is about Cough Bronchitis, rather than drop any topic.

Knowing and recognizing the signs and symptoms of both acute and chronic bronchitis are useful for a future need to establish a quick and appropriate diagnose and treatment. We are satisfied with this end product on Bronchitis Symptoms. It was really worth the hard work and effort in writing so much on Bronchitis Symptoms.

COPD, controlling symptoms like cough means improving the quality of life for the chronicle patient. The best cure for the chronicle cough in bronchitis is avoiding environments with pollution or smoke as well as personally giving up smoking. The medication treatment for coughing might be administering agonists like the short-acting Ipratropium Bromide by inhalation or Teophylline by oral way, long-action agonists and inhaled corticosteroids.

The chronic bronchitis appears as an inflammatory damage of the bronchial tree due to an untreated acute bronchitis or due to chronicle smoking. The chronicle swelling of the bronchial walls and lumen are caused by external agents like smoke, inhaled pollutants, allergens connected with internal factors such as genetic and respiratory infections. Enhancing your vocabulary is our intention with the writing of this article on Bronchitis Symptoms. We have used new and interesting words to achieve this.

[list][*]Sudden acutisations of a chronic bronchitis can occur; patients present larger amounts of sputum, even pus sputum and acute breathing problems.[*]A diagnose of chronic bronchitis exacerbations must be set after excluding other assembling diseases.[*]We have not included any imaginary or false information on Bronchitis Symptoms here.[*]Everything here is true and up to the mark![/list]
