Cardiogenic asthma, COPD, pulmonary heart disease

BY Carol Carey 2020-05-24

  Cardiogenic asthma is the onset of asthma caused by left heart failure and acute pulmonary edema. The clinical manifestations at the time of attack are similar to bronchial asthma, and symptoms such as cough and asthma can also occur. However, patients with cardiogenic asthma have a history of hypertension or heart disease, but bronchial asthma does not, so the treatment of cardiogenic asthma is mainly directed at the heart.

  Asthma is mainly to regulate immunity, mainly to relieve cough and asthma, and to relieve lung inflammation. The treatment is completely different.

  The incidence of asthma is generally caused by the interaction of internal and external factors. For internal reasons, Western medicine refers to a decrease in allergies or resistance; while Chinese medicine refers to congenital insufficiency or lack of righteousness, "The Yellow Emperor''s Internal Classic" says: "righteousness remains in the inner, evil cannot be dried", and strong resistance is generally impossible to cause disease. External causes, Western medicine refers to allergens in the external nature, such as: exposure to allergens, pollen, paint, formaldehyde, haze weather, oil fumes, animal skin contact, various physical and chemical factors, eating seafood, spicy food, etc.; The wind, cold, heat, dampness and fire in nature are too sick to cause illness.

  Asthma is recognized by the world medical community as one of the four stubborn diseases and listed as one of the top ten causes of death. The symptoms of asthma are wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. These seemingly ordinary symptoms make many people disagree, and they will attack when they suddenly encounter an allergen.

  Many asthma patients use aerosols and theophylline drugs for a long time, but some elderly patients or patients in a state of hypoxia, if the dosage is too large, the myocardial oxygen consumption can increase, and heart rhythm is very likely to occur Abnormalities or ventricular fibrillation, severe cases can suddenly die due to cardiac arrest. Therefore, although the combination of these two drugs has a good anti-asthmatic effect, it is very dangerous in the long run.

  Asthma can actually be cured clinically. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and correcting the root causes. Those with yang deficiency should be given warming yang qi, those with yin deficiency should be nourished with yin fluid, and the methods of nourishing the lung, strengthening the spleen, and benefiting the kidney should be taken to alleviate, reduce or control their attacks. Asthma is divided into cold and hot asthma. Treatment requires both internal and external treatment, using medicinal fungi combined with traditional Chinese medicine and physical therapy.

  Asthma can cause COPD. There is a clinical disease called asthma COPD overlap syndrome. The incidence of COPD and asthma caused by long-term or repeated airway spasm obstruction, infection, hypoxia, etc. related. COPD has become the third-ranking disease in the world for human mortality. The development of COPD is pulmonary heart disease, and the continued development of COPD is heart and lung failure.
