Can lung cancer have dyspnea

summary

Grandfather suffering from lung cancer, often chest tightness, cough, very uncomfortable. But I don't know if lung cancer will cause dyspnea. My family is very worried, so I went to the hospital to consult the doctor in charge. Now let me talk to you about whether lung cancer can cause dyspnea.

Can lung cancer have dyspnea

First, the normal tissue fluid produced by the lung and myocardium is returned from the lymph node in the middle of the chest. If these lymph nodes are blocked by the tumor, the tissue fluid will accumulate in the pericardium to form pericardial effusion or in the chest to form pleural effusion. When a large amount of pleural effusion oppresses the lung tissue and displaces the mediastinum seriously, or when there is pericardial effusion, chest tightness, shortness of breath and dyspnea may also occur, but the symptoms can be relieved after fluid extraction.

Second, due to the loss of respiratory function due to the growth of tumor in some lung tissues, the respiratory function of the lung is impaired, resulting in respiratory discomfort. Respiratory tract complications * such as retention of sputum, atelectasis, pneumonia, respiratory insufficiency. The incidence rate of elderly patients with chronic weakness, chronic bronchitis and emphysema is high.

Third: because of postoperative wound pain, patients can not do effective cough, sputum retention caused by airway obstruction, atelectasis, respiratory insufficiency. The prevention lies in that the patients can fully understand and cooperate with each other, actively make preparations before the operation, encourage and urge them to take deep breath and cough after the operation so as to effectively expel sputum, and if necessary, use nasal catheter or bronchoscope for sputum suction. Patients complicated with pneumonia should be actively treated with anti-inflammatory therapy. When respiratory failure occurs, mechanical ventilation is often needed.

matters needing attention

Lung cancer patients should keep their respiratory tract unobstructed and breathe more fresh air to avoid further lung infection. For cough with phlegm, slight should be two hands pressing chest to eliminate phlegm; serious should do atomization, so as to reduce the pain of cough. Lung cancer patients should take effective treatment in a timely manner, no smoking again, otherwise the effective treatment is useless. Hope lung cancer patients recover soon and live a normal life.
