Bronchitis of the smoker

Description:

This state which is expressed available constant productive cough for 3 months within the last 2 years in the absence of other diseases with similar symptoms.

Symptoms of Bronchitis of the smoker:

In a clinical picture constant productive cough for 3 months within the last 2 years in the absence of other diseases with similar symptoms takes place.
At bronchitis of the smoker there is mutually aggravating state: on the one hand the struck cells are not able to get rid timely and fully of slime, on the other hand scyphoid cells as if  "having gone crazy", produce a huge amount of slime which does not find a way out.  The hammered gleams of bronchial tubes demand removal of a mucous stopper — there is cough. He is hoarse, demands great efforts from the patient, is often unproductive — that is after expectoration of the patient does not lighten.



Especially cough annoys in the mornings and at an exit to the street in cold or windy weather. The first arises because of the functional, having a physiological basis decrease in cleaning function of bronchial tubes  in a prone position. The cough arising on the street develops in response to reflex narrowing of bronchial tubes under the influence of the low temperature or wind gusts.



Not only  bronchitis of the smoker is dangerous by an inflammation and cough. Eventually tissues of bronchial tubes are exposed to destructive changes — first it is the hypostasis extending inside in a bronchial tube gleam, then morphological changes mucous begin, a cartilage, muscular tissue of a bronchial tree, bronchial tubes as if shrink, become thinner. The organism tries to compensate the shortage of oxygen which arose owing to changes in the sizes of bronchial tubes (and to reduction of amount of the inhaled air), dilatation (expansion) of bronchial tubes and afterwards — pulmonary fabric begins.  It leads to formation of an asthma, hronicheskoyobstruktivny pulmonary disease (HOBL),  "pulmonary heart", left ventricular failure, high risk of death.

Reasons of Bronchitis of the smoker:

Bronchitis of the smoker is a consequence of rheological properties of a phlegm which is connected with change of structure and, respectively, properties of the slime produced by the corresponding cells, and also weakening of stimulation of a respiratory center in connection with decrease in content of nicotine in blood.

These mechanisms also lead to reduction and difficulty of an otkhozhdeniye of a phlegm that is shown by the corresponding respiratory symptoms, the patient's attendants during refusal of smoking.

Treatment of Bronchitis of the smoker:

Bronchitis of the smoker can be cured only if the patient refuses smoking and timely, before formation of HOBL, will see a doctor. Otherwise therapy will be ineffective and directed, generally to decrease in expressiveness of symptomatology, but not full treatment.
Treatment of chronic bronchitis long, is used a complex of medicinal, physiotherapeutic measures with the organization of a healthy day regimen, food and rest.
