Diseases that Affect the Respiratory System: Bronchitis
#1
[size=4][b]Bronchitis Bronchiolitis Difference - Diseases that Affect the Respiratory System: Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]The bronchi make the connections between the lungs and the windpipe. They are lining of your bronchial tubes and allow air to flow into your body. These bronchi can get infected, or inflamed making it harder fro air to travel to the lungs. This condition is called bronchitis. Smile

[list][*]Apart form making it very difficult to breath, the inflammation of the bronchi can also cause mucus in the airways, or phlegm.[*]There are two types of bronchitis: acute and chronic bronchitis.[*]There can also be another type of bronchitis, but only in people who suffer from asthma.[*]Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Chronic Bronchitis.[*]It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission! [/list]

[size=large][b]As Bad as It All Sound, Things are Not that Bad[/b][/size][hr]A case of acute bronchitis usually lasts only a few days. The cases that are more severe can also produce chest pain. Chronic bronchitis has very minor symptoms and it can be easily treated. There are cause when the symptoms may get worse over the years and even start to threaten once' s life at some point, but these are rare cases. To err is human, to forgive is divine. So we would indeed deem you to be divine if you forgive us for any misunderstandings that may arise in this article on Bronchitis Virus.

[list][*]The first type of bronchitis, the acute one, can develop from a cold that you might suffer and usually lasts a week at the most.[*]It can also be caused by viral infections.[*]It is accompanied by cough, pain in the middle of the chest and sometimes even fever.[*]When suffering from acute bronchitis, one might experience some shortness of breath, but very little and fro short periods of time. Big Grin[*]Is very important to know that the reason we get acute bronchitis is due to viruses in almost all of the cases.[*]Viruses travel through the air and when they go into the bronchi, cause an infection.[*]Our body then tries to protect us from the virus.[*]When this happens more mucus is produced and the swelling can get even worse.[*]We get bronchitis from the same virus that causes the cold, though there are times when a bacteria can cause bronchitis.[*]This is more likely to happen after you have suffered from a cold.[/list]

[size=large][b]Chronic Bronchitis is a Very Common Respiratory Illness[/b][/size][hr]Around 12 million people in the United States are diagnosed with chronic bronchitis each year. Chronic bronchitis is considered to be the most common illness among the chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Chronic bronchitis has a high incidence in smokers and people with respiratory yogic exercises for asthma cure sinusitis are also very exposed to developing chronic bronchitis in time. In some cases, patients with complicated acute bronchitis can develop chronic bronchitis too.

Bronchitis causes inflammation and sometimes viral or bacterial infection of the mucous membrane, bronchial tubes and other organs and tissues involved in the process of breathing. The respiratory system has many natural defenses (nostril hairs, cilia, mucus) against external irritants (airborne viruses, dust particles, chemicals, pollen). However, constant exposure to these external agents can sometimes enable airborne viruses to penetrate the natural barriers of the respiratory tract, causing inflammation and infection. When external irritants reach inside the lungs, there is a high risk of complication (pneumonia). When the bronchial tubes become inflamed and irritated, they produce a surplus of mucus which clogs the airways and prevents the normal airflow.

[size=large][b]Chronic Bronchitis is Very Common in Smokers and People With Weak Immune System[/b][/size][hr]Inappropriate diet, lack of sleep, stress and exposure to chemicals and pollutants all contribute to the development of chronic bronchitis. Smoking facilitates the development of chronic bronchitis by sustaining the proliferation of bacteria and by slowing the normal process of healing. Smoking can cause serious, permanent damage to the respiratory system. life is short. Use it to its maximum by utilizing whatever knowledge it offers for knowledge is important for all walks of life. Even the crooks have to be intelligent!

[list][*]Chronic bronchitis is a persistent respiratory illness and it also has a recidivating character.[*]The symptoms of chronic bronchitis are usually not intense, but they reoccur on a regular time basis.[*]While acute bronchitis usually clears on itself within a few days, chronic bronchitis can last for months.[*]Chronic bronchitis is an infectious disease and needs ongoing medical treatment with antibiotics.[*]If the medical treatment is prematurely interrupted, the illness reoccurs and can lead to complications.[/list]
