Yintoni iCOPD?

Akuqhelekanga kubantu abanesifo esingapheliyo sesifo se-pulmonary (COPD) ukuba bafumane ukukhathala. I-COPD inciphisa ukuhamba komoya kwimiphunga yakho, okwenza ukuphefumla kube nzima kwaye kusebenze.

Iyanciphisa ukubonelelwa kweoksijini okufunyanwa ngumzimba wakho uphela. Ngaphandle kweoksijini eyaneleyo, umzimba wakho uya kuziva udiniwe kwaye udiniwe.

I-COPD iqhubela phambili, ngenxa yoko iimpawu zesi sifo zikhula zisiba mandundu ngokuhamba kwexesha. Oku kungathatha umthwalo omkhulu emzimbeni wakho, indlela ophila ngayo, kunye nakwimpilo.

Kodwa oku akuthethi ukuba kufuneka uzive udiniwe yonke imihla. Kukho izinto onokuzenza ukunceda ukulawula ukudinwa kwakho, ukusuka kutshintsho lwendlela yokuphila ukuya kwimithambo yokuphefumla.

Iimpawu zeCOPD

Iimpawu zeCOPD zihlala zifunyanwa kuphela emva kokuba isifo siqhubekile. Isigaba sokuqala seCOPD asibangeli iimpawu ezininzi ezibonakalayo.

Iimpawu onokuzifumana kwi-COPD yokuqala zihlala zibangelwa kwezinye iimeko, njengokuguga, ukukhathala ngokubanzi, okanye ukungabikho komzimba.

Iimpawu zeCOPD zakuqala zibandakanya:

• ukukhwehlela okungapheliyo
• ukugqithisa kwemiphunga emiphungeni yakho
• ukudinwa okanye ukungabikho kwamandla
• ukuqhawukelwa ngumphefumlo
• ukuqina esifubeni
• ukwehla kobunzima obungalindelekanga
• ukuvutha

Uluhlu lweemeko kunye nezifo lunokuchaphazela impilo yemiphunga yakho. Esona sizathu siqhelekileyo seCOPD, nangona kunjalo, kukutshaya icuba. Ukuba uyatshaya okanye ubukhe watshaya ngaphambili, unokuba nomonakalo omkhulu kwimiphunga yakho.

Okukhona utshaya, kokukhona ukhula kwimiphunga yakho. Ukuvezwa okungapheliyo kokunye ukucaphuka kwemiphunga, kubandakanya ungcoliseko lomoya, umsi weekhemikhali kunye nothuli, kunokucaphukisa imiphunga yakho kwaye kubangele iCOPD.

I-COPD kunye nokudinwa

Ngaphandle kokutshintshiselana ngokufanelekileyo kweegesi, umzimba wakho awukwazi ukufumana ioksijini oyifunayo. Uya kuphuhlisa amanqanaba eoksijini ephantsi egazini, imeko ebizwa ngokuba yihypoxemia.

Xa umzimba wakho uphantsi kwioksijini, uziva udiniwe. Ukukhathala kuza ngokukhawuleza xa imiphunga yakho ingakwazi ukungenisa ngokufanelekileyo nokukhupha umoya.

Oku kuseka umjikelo ongathandekiyo. Xa ushiyeke uziva utyhafile ngenxa yokunqongophala kweoksijini, awufane ubandakanyeke kwimithambo yomzimba. Kuba uyayiphepha imisebenzi, uphulukana namandla akho kunye nokudinwa ngokulula.

Ekugqibeleni, unokufumanisa ukuba awukwazi ukwenza nokuba yeyiphi na imisebenzi esisiseko yemihla ngemihla ngaphandle kokuziva unomoya kwaye udiniwe.

Iingcebiso ezi-5 zokuhlala nokudinwa okunxulumene neCOPD

I-COPD ayinanyango, kwaye awunakho ukuwutshintsha umonakalo owenzayo kwimiphunga yakho nakwindlela yomoya. Nje ukuba esi sifo siqhubele phambili, kufuneka uqale unyango ukunciphisa umonakalo kunye nokucotha ukuqhubela phambili.

Ukukhathala kuya kufuna ukuba usebenzise amandla onawo ngobulumko. Thatha ukhathalelo olongezelelekileyo ukuze ungazityhali kakhulu.

Iimpawu zeCOPD zinokuvela ngamanye amaxesha, kwaye kunokubakho amaxesha apho iimpawu kunye neengxaki zibi kakhulu. Ngexesha lezi ziqendu, okanye ukwanda, ugqirha wakho uya kuncomela unyango kunye namayeza ukunciphisa iimpawu zakho.

Ukuba unokudinwa okunxulumene neCOPD, zama ezi ngcebiso ezintlanu ukukunceda ukulawula iimpawu zakho.

1. Yeka ukutshaya

Unobangela ophambili weCOPD kukutshaya. Ukuba uyatshaya, kuya kufuneka uthathe amanyathelo okuyeka. Ugqirha wakho unokukunceda ufumane isicwangciso sokuyeka ukutshaya esisebenza kuwe nakwindlela ophila ngayo.

Icebo lakho lokuyeka ukutshaya lisenokungaphumeleli okokuqala, kwaye lisenokungaphumeleli izihlandlo ezihlanu zokuqala. Kodwa ngezixhobo ezifanelekileyo kunye nezixhobo, unokuyeka ukutshaya.

2. Yenza umthambo rhoqo

Awunakho ukuwutshintsha umonakalo owenziwe yi-COPD kwimiphunga yakho, kodwa unganakho ukucothisa ukuqhubela phambili kwayo. Ingabonakala ngathi iyaphikisana, kodwa ukuzilolonga kunye nokwenza imisebenzi yomzimba kunokuba yinyani kwimiphunga yakho.
