Throat blocked and breathing difficult

The air quality is mostly poor nowadays, with frequent smog and dry weather outside. Especially for people living in the northern region, the most common symptoms are hoarseness, throat congestion and difficulty breathing, which have a great impact on the body. Therefore, patients need to choose appropriate methods for treatment and conditioning according to their actual physical conditions, so as to relieve the congestion and difficulty breathing in the throat.

Dyspnea can be divided into the following types according to the main pathogenesis:

1. Pulmonary dyspnea: caused by respiratory organ lesions, mainly manifested in the following three forms:

1) Inspiratory dyspnea: manifested by wheezing, and depression of the sternum, supraclavicular fossa, and intercostal spaces during inspiration - the three-depression sign. It is common in laryngeal and tracheal stenosis, such as inflammation, edema, foreign bodies and tumors.

2) Expiratory dyspnea: prolonged expiratory phase accompanied by wheezing, seen in bronchial asthma and obstructive pulmonary disease.

3) Mixed dyspnea: seen in pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, large pleural effusion, pneumothorax, etc.

2. Cardiogenic dyspnea: Common in cardiogenic pulmonary edema caused by left heart failure, its clinical characteristics:

1) The patient has a history of severe heart disease.

2) Mixed dyspnea, more obvious in supine position and at night.

3) Medium and small wet gong sounds may be heard at the bottom of the lungs and vary with body position.

4) X-ray examination: abnormal changes in the cardiac shadow; congestion in the hilum of the lung and its vicinity or signs of pulmonary edema.

3. Toxic dyspnea: Acidosis caused by various reasons can increase the carbon dioxide in the blood and decrease the pH, stimulate peripheral chemoreceptors or directly excite the respiratory center, increase respiratory ventilation, and manifest as deep and severe dyspnea; respiratory depressants such as morphine and barbiturates can also inhibit the respiratory center and make breathing shallow and slow when poisoning.
