Ingaba nawe unengxaki yokuphefumla kwaye ukhwehlela ixesha elide? Isenokuba yiCOPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)!

Ngaba uhlala uziva uphelelwa ngumoya, uxinezelekile esifubeni? Okanye ngaba ukhwehlela ixesha elide? Usenokucinga ukuba oku kumkhuhlane nje oqhelekileyo, okanye imeko efana ne-asthma. Kodwa ukuba ezi mpawu ziyaqhubeka, isenokuba yi -COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) , isifo semiphunga ekufuneka sonke sisiqaphele. Ungakhathazeki, siza kuthetha ngale nto ngokweenkcukacha namhlanje, ngokungathi sithetha nomhlobo.

Yintoni iCOPD (iSifo esingapheliyo sokuQonda iiPulmonary)?

Ngamafutshane, i-COPD yimeko engenakulungiseka eyonakalisa imiphunga yethu kunye neendlela zomoya (iindlela zokuphefumla), inciphisa kancinci kancinci ukusebenza kwazo kwaye yenze kube nzima ukuphefumla. Njengetyhubhu endala yerabha, iingxowa zomoya ezincinci (i-alveoli) ezikwimiphunga yethu kunye neendlela zomoya zilahlekelwa bukuqina kwazo. Ziyadumba kwaye zizaliswe yi-mucus, zivale iindlela zethu zomoya. Cinga ngayo njengombhobho wamanzi ovalwe luthuli, okwenza kube nzima ukuba amanzi ahambe.

Nge-COPD, imiphunga yakho kunye neendlela zomoya zinokufumana utshintsho olufana nolu:

• Ukulahlekelwa kukuqina kweengxowa zomoya (i-alveoli) kunye neendlela zomoya zemiphunga.
• Ukudumba, amanxeba (fibrosis), kunye nokucutheka kweendlela zomoya.
• Ukuqokelelwa kwe-mucus engqindilili kwindlela yokuphefumla.
• Iindonga eziphakathi kweengxowa zomoya (ii-alveoli) ziyatshatyalaliswa, ziyakhula, kwaye umoya ophefumliweyo uvaleleke ngaphakathi.

Abantu abane-COPD badla ngokuba namaxesha apho iimpawu zabo ziba mandundu ngequbuliso. Sizibiza ngokuba "zizinto ezibangela uxinezeleko." Ngala maxesha, ukuphefumla kuba nzima ngakumbi, ukwakheka kwe-mucus, ukuphefumla kuyaphuma, kwaye ukukhwehlela kuyanda. Ngamanye amaxesha, ukuba le meko iba mandundu, unokufuna ukulaliswa esibhedlele .

I-COPD sisifo esiqhubekayo esiba mandundu ngokuhamba kwexesha. Kodwa oku kuyahluka kumntu nomntu. Abanye abantu basenokungafumani naluphi na utshintsho olubalulekileyo kangangeminyaka, ngelixa abanye banokufumana ukuqhubela phambili ngokukhawuleza kwesi sifo.

Ziziphi iintlobo eziphambili zeCOPD?

Kukho iimeko ezimbini eziphambili eziwela phantsi kwegama elibanzi le-COPD. Rhoqo, umntu one-COPD unokuba neempawu zazo zombini.

I-Emphysema

Kulapho ke iingxowa zomoya ezincinci (i-alveoli) ezikwimiphunga yakho zonakala kwaye zanda. Oku kwenza kube nzima ukuphefumla. Uphawu oluphambili kukuphefumla kancinci (i-dyspnea) , okufana nokuphefumla kancinci nokuba usebenzisa amandla amancinci.

I-bronchitis engapheliyo

Kulapho iindlela zomoya ezinkulu (iityhubhu zebronchial) emiphungeni yakho zivuvukala khona. Oku kubangela ukuba iindlela zomoya zinciphe kwaye kubangele ukuba i-mucus eninzi iqokeleleke. Uphawu oluphambili kukukhwehlela okungapheliyo, ingakumbi ukukhwehlela okune-mucus .

Ziziphi iimpawu zeCOPD?

Ngoku makhe sijonge iimpawu ezinokuthi zibonakaliswe ngumntu one-COPD. Cinga ngokuba unayo na kwezi mpawu:

• Ukukhohlela ixesha elide okune-mucus (ukukhohlela okuhlala ubuncinane iinyanga ezintathu ngexesha, ubuncinane iminyaka emibini).
• Ubunzima bokuphefumla nzulu.
• Ukuphefumla kancinci , ingakumbi xa usenza imisebenzi yemihla ngemihla okanye uziva udiniwe kancinci.
• Ukuphefumla okanye ezinye izandi ezingaqhelekanga zemiphunga.
• Isifuba esimile njengebhareli (xa isifo sinzima).
• Ngamanye amaxesha kukho umbala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka eluswini (i-cyanosis) , ingakumbi imilebe kunye neenzipho (xa kungekho oxygen yaneleyo egazini).

Ukuba unenye okanye ngaphezulu kwezi mpawu, kubaluleke kakhulu ukufuna ingcebiso kugqirha.

Zithini izizathu zeCOPD?

Eyona nto iphambili neyona ixhaphakileyo yeCOPD kukutshaya . Umsi weecuba, iicuba, kunye neebeedis ungena ngqo emiphungeni yethu kwaye uyonakalise. Ukuba ungumtshayi, ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka ucinge ngale nto.

Kodwa abantu abangatshayiyo nabo banokuba ne-COPD. Ezinye izizathu ziquka:

• Ukungabikho kwe-Alpha-1 antitrypsin: Esi sisifo esibangelwa lufuzo. Xa le protein incinci, inokonakalisa imiphunga.
