Many thanks for this. Think it's worth emphasising the point that chronic bronchitis involves a cough with sputum for at least 3 months of the year for two consecutive years.
@@PaulSawczyc Yes...I know this about vitamins.... You could be correct. Guess I need to do more research. ...but when I drink ginger tea, I can feel my lungs clear... So, it seems to be working. Am I getting all the vitamins and other nutrients ? That is the question .
At 4:00 you list "being up to date with vaccinations" as the first non pharmacological intervention. Vaccination for what, and how do vaccines relate to COPD?
Annual influenza vaccinations plus vaccination against streptococcus pneumoniae As for the exact relation to COPD, I'm unsure, however those vaccinations are recommended in the guidelines.
frequent respiratory problems from childhood is a predecessor or a risk factor for COPD. So getting immunizations can help prevent diseases like BCG vaccine for pulmonary tuberculosis (or tb in general)

It depends on which state of COPD you are and whether your stopped smoking... rule of thumbs: you can hold your lung function on that level if you stop smoking immediatly, if you keep smoking life expectency lower with every year spend smoking and COPD will get worse over time
It's due to muscle fatigue: as shown in this video (although not so easily recognizable in real life settings) the cachexic pink puffer suffers from emphysema (= lung overcharged with air) but our lungs are limited how much air they can contain and still be functional by different limitations (rip-cage, vicinity organs, diaphragmic muscle, physiological limitation of the lung itself and others). The problem with the emphysema is this over-inflated lung and to maintain a decent tidal volume per breath the accesory respiratiory muscles have to act with each breath at rest and even try harder under the slightest sign of stress. Additionally if the person is still smoking the nicotine inhibits the appetite, eating if you don't have enough air to breath is already difficult and your main goal every day and every minute is "enough air", therefore hunger is a distant second priority (Source: Currently doing my doctorate on techniques to lower emphysema without surgery but with one-way valves) Hope that helps :)
When a patient develops COPD , they become tired and short of breath that makes them lose the desire to eat and drink, that makes them then turn cachectic.
I'm afraid that i had shortness of breath Im started smoking at 15 but i didn't smoke much and quit after some months I mean i didn't even smoke 30+ cigarettes in my life I think.. And I take some drugs like bond ( inhaling it .. That is a kind of paste used to fill the hole in things) and I quit all these things less than a year.. But after that I had shortness of breath more than for 2 years.. And now I'm able to find that I had some lung disease or something.. I'm a 18 years old boy can I have copd Or what... What treatment and regular exercise or habits I want to take to recover from this Can I prevent from this one?

You inspired me to also teach on RUclips.. I used to watch your videos in pharmacy school. thank you soo much.
That's great!
Please don't hesitate we need more and more medical teaching videos
@@amafriends9152Amen anyone who makes these videos save countless lives, so medical workers know about something better
i learnt alot more knowledge from your tutorial, you are the great inspiration for us..... and great information than all teachers love you from 🇵🇰
I just had a lecture on this today! perfect timing
Many thanks for this. Think it's worth emphasising the point that chronic bronchitis involves a cough with sputum for at least 3 months of the year for two consecutive years.
No
Great work over the years but why haven't you made videos regarding metabolic-respiratory acid/base imbalances?
Thank you.
Very nice lecture thank you 🙏
beautifullly explained wow
I am interested in reducing / eliminating the irritation and cause of mucus development, and eliminating constriction of bronchiole airways.
I chew on a small piece of raw ginger root from the vegetable market - it really helps a lot, so does chewing on a couple of pieces of clove spice.
@@PaulSawczyc I make raw Ginger tea....
Thank you for your input. Have a great day !
@@doctorartphd6463 Me too - but sometimes I wonder if heating things changes them.
@@PaulSawczyc Yes...I know this about vitamins.... You could be correct. Guess I need to do more research. ...but when I drink ginger tea, I can feel my lungs clear...
So, it seems to be working. Am I getting all the vitamins and other nutrients ? That is the question .
@@doctorartphd6463 Hey - if it works, that is what matters, happy tea time.
Insightful video!
Hi again!
Thanks for sharing ❤️💝💝♥️
What is the software/application that you use?
thank you! :D
thanks for this useful information... use Tulsi capsules and Kaas-Har Churna by Planet Ayurveda which is very effective in the management of COPD
At 4:00 you list "being up to date with vaccinations" as the first non pharmacological intervention. Vaccination for what, and how do vaccines relate to COPD?
Annual influenza vaccinations plus vaccination against streptococcus pneumoniae
As for the exact relation to COPD, I'm unsure, however those vaccinations are recommended in the guidelines.
COPD increases chances for pneumonia, so there are vaccinations for that
Vaccinations will prevent severe forms of respiratory infections that can be a cause of copd exacerbation
frequent respiratory problems from childhood is a predecessor or a risk factor for COPD. So getting immunizations can help prevent diseases like BCG vaccine for pulmonary tuberculosis (or tb in general)

Can you still live a full life with copd?
Yes! But you have to make significant life style changes. End stage COPD is challenging and requires home oxygen.
@@armandohasudunganwhat is copd life expectencyy

How does a patient come to develop cachexia from COPD?
It's due to muscle fatigue: as shown in this video (although not so easily recognizable in real life settings) the cachexic pink puffer suffers from emphysema (= lung overcharged with air) but our lungs are limited how much air they can contain and still be functional by different limitations (rip-cage, vicinity organs, diaphragmic muscle, physiological limitation of the lung itself and others).

What treatment and regular exercise or habits I want to take to recover from this
Can I prevent from this one?
Unlikely, neither your age, nor your smoking histroy matches, asthma would have a higher probability
Get a pft test done, could be copd but not sure
