Kuyini i-COPD?

Akuvamile ukuthi abantu abanesifo esingapheliyo se-pulmonary disease (COPD) bazwe ukukhathala. I-COPD inciphisa ukuhamba komoya emaphashini akho, okwenza ukuphefumula kube nzima futhi kube nzima.

Kuphinde kunciphise ukutholakala komoya-mpilo okuthola umzimba wakho wonke. Ngaphandle komoya-mpilo owenele, umzimba wakho uzozizwa ukhathele futhi ukhathele.

I-COPD iyaqhubeka, ngakho-ke izimpawu zesifo zikhula zimbi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Lokhu kungathinta kakhulu umzimba wakho, indlela ophila ngayo, kanye nempilo yakho.

Kodwa lokhu akusho ukuthi kufanele uzizwe ukhathele nsuku zonke. Kunezinto ongazenza ukusiza ukuphatha ukukhathala kwakho, kusuka ekuguqukeni kwendlela yokuphila kuya ekuzivocavoca ukuphefumula.

Izimpawu ze-COPD

Izimpawu zeCOPD zivame ukutholakala kuphela ngemuva kokuba isifo sesithuthukile. I-COPD yokuqala ayibangeli izimpawu eziningi ezibonakalayo.

Izimpawu ongahlangabezana nazo ekuqaleni kwe-COPD zivame ukubangelwa ezinye izimo, njengokuguga, ukukhathala okujwayelekile, noma ukungabi sesimeni.

Izimpawu ze-COPD zakuqala zifaka:

• ukukhwehlela okungapheli
• amafinyila amaningi emaphashini akho
• ukukhathala noma ukungabi namandla
• ukuphelelwa umoya
• ukuqina esifubeni
• ukuncipha kwesisindo okungahlosiwe
• isifuba

Izimo nezifo ezahlukahlukene zingathinta impilo yamaphaphu akho. Isizathu esivame kakhulu seCOPD, noma kunjalo, ukubhema ugwayi. Uma ubhema noma ububhema esikhathini esedlule, ungahle ube nomonakalo omkhulu emaphashini akho.

Uma uqhubeka ubhema, kulimala amaphaphu akho. Ukuvezwa okungapheli kokunye ukucasulwa kwamaphaphu, kufaka phakathi ukungcoliswa komoya, umusi wamakhemikhali nothuli, nakho kungacasula amaphaphu akho futhi kubangele i-COPD.

I-COPD nokukhathala

Ngaphandle kokushintshaniswa okufanele kwamagesi, umzimba wakho awukwazi ukuthola umoya-mpilo owudingayo. Uzothuthukisa amazinga e-oxygen ephansi egazi, isimo esibizwa nge-hypoxemia.

Lapho umzimba wakho uphansi komoya-mpilo, uzizwa ukhathele. Ukukhathala kuza ngokushesha okukhulu lapho amaphaphu akho engakwazi ukuhogela kahle futhi akhiphe umoya.

Lokhu kusetha umjikelezo ongathandeki. Lapho ushiywe uzizwa uphele amandla ngenxa yokushoda komoya-mpilo, mancane amathuba okuthi uhlanganyele ekuzivocavoca umzimba. Ngoba ugwema umsebenzi, ulahlekelwa amandla akho futhi ukhathale kalula.

Ekugcineni, ungathola ukuthi awukwazi ukwenza imisebenzi eyisisekelo yansuku zonke ngaphandle kokuzizwa uphefumulelwe futhi ukhathele.

Amathiphu ama-5 wokuphila nokukhathala okuhlobene ne-COPD

I-COPD ayinalo ikhambi, futhi awukwazi ukuguqula umonakalo owenzayo emaphashini akho nasemigwaqweni yomoya. Lapho lesi sifo sesithuthukile, kufanele uqale ukwelashwa ukuze unciphise ukulimala futhi uqhubeke kancane.

Ukukhathala kuzodinga ukuthi usebenzise amandla onawo ngokuhlakanipha. Nakekela ngokweqile ukuze ungazisunduzi kanzima.

Izimpawu ze-COPD zingavuka ngezikhathi ezithile, futhi kungahle kube nezikhathi lapho izimpawu nezinkinga zimbi kakhulu. Phakathi nalezi ziqephu, noma ukukhushulwa, udokotela wakho uzoncoma ukwelashwa nemithi yokunciphisa izimpawu zakho.

Uma unokukhathala okuhlobene ne-COPD, zama lawa macebiso amahlanu ukusiza ukuphatha izimpawu zakho.

1. Yeka ukubhema

Imbangela ehamba phambili ye-COPD ukubhema. Uma ubhema, kufanele uthathe izinyathelo zokuyeka. Udokotela wakho angakusiza ukuthi uthole uhlelo lokuyeka ukubhema olusebenzela wena nendlela yakho yokuphila.

Icebo lakho lokuyeka ukubhema lingahle lingaphumeleli okokuqala, futhi kungenzeka lingaphumeleli izikhathi ezinhlanu zokuqala. Kepha ngamathuluzi nezinsizakusebenza ezifanele, ungayeka ukubhema.

2. Vocavoca umzimba njalo

Awukwazi ukuguqula umonakalo owenziwe yi-COPD emaphashini akho, kepha ungakwazi ukubambezela ukuqhubeka kwawo. Kungabonakala njengokuphikisana, kepha ukuzivocavoca umzimba nokwenza umsebenzi womzimba kungaba kuhle emaphashini akho.

Ngaphambi kokuba uqale uhlelo lokuzivocavoca, khuluma nodokotela wakho. Sebenzani ndawonye ukuze nibe necebo elilungele nina futhi elizonisiza ukuthi nigweme ukuzikhandla ngokweqile. Ukwenza ngokushesha okukhulu kakhulu kungazenza zibe zimbi izimpawu zakho ze-COPD.

3. Yamukela indlela yokuphila enempilo

I-COPD ingaba khona kanye nezinye izimo nezinye izinkinga, kufaka phakathi umfutho wegazi ophezulu nezinkinga zenhliziyo. Ukudla kahle nokuvivinya umzimba okuningi kungasiza ekunciphiseni ubungozi bakho balezi zimo ngenkathi kunciphisa nokukhathala.

4. Funda izivivinyo zokuphefumula

Uma uthola ukuxilongwa kwe-COPD, udokotela wakho angakudlulisela kuchwepheshe obizwa ngokuthi ngumelaphi wokuphefumula. Laba bahlinzeki bezempilo baqeqeshelwe ukukufundisa izindlela ezisebenza kangcono zokuphefumula.

Okokuqala, bachazele izinkinga zakho zokuphefumula nokukhathala. Bese ubacela ukuthi bakufundise izivivinyo zokuphefumula ezingakusiza lapho ukhathele noma uphelelwa umoya.

5. Gwema abanye abanikeli bokukhathala

Uma ungalali ngokwanele ebusuku, ungahle uzizwe ukhathele ngosuku olulandelayo. I-COPD yakho ingakwenza uzizwe ukhathele kakhulu.

Lala njalo ebusuku futhi umzimba wakho uzoba namandla owadingayo ukuze usebenze, ngaphandle kweCOPD yakho. Uma usazizwa ukhathele ngemuva kokulala amahora ayisishiyagalombili ubusuku ngabunye, khuluma nodokotela wakho.

Ungaba ne-apnea yokulala evimbelayo, evamile kubantu abane-COPD. I-apnea yokulala nayo ingenza izimpawu zakho ze-COPD nokukhathala kube kubi kakhulu.

Umbono

I-COPD yisimo esingelapheki, okusho ukuthi uma usunayo, ngeke isuke. Kodwa akudingeki udlule ezinsukwini zakho ngaphandle kwamandla.

Beka lezi zeluleko zansuku zonke ukuze uzisebenzise futhi udle kahle, uvivinye umzimba kakhulu, futhi uhlale uphilile. Uma ubhema, yeka ukubhema. Ukuhlala wazi isimo sakho nokwenza ushintsho endleleni yokuphila kungakusiza ukuphatha izimpawu zakho futhi kuholele empilweni enempilo.
