How to relax tight Airways

Advertisements

When your smooth muscle layer of the lungs spasms, expands and contracts your airflow, it causes airway tightening. A seizure can be mild, controllable or severe, requiring immediate treatment. Respiratory stricture is usually caused by colds, viral infections, allergens or irritants, which can cause pulmonary inflammation. Your airway narrows as it expands, reducing the amount of air available. Complications of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) can also constrict your airways.

Symptoms of airway stenosis include shortness of breath, cough or wheezing. In severe cases, people with respiratory obstruction may have blue skin, or suffer from mental disorders, rapid heartbeat or chest pain. Intercostal contraction, when your skin sinks between the ribs while breathing inward, also signals airway contraction. < p > < p > Doctors often use drugs to treat respiratory stricture. Salbutamol, the most commonly used drug in this area, enters the airway through an inhaler and relaxes the smooth muscles of the lungs to relax the airway and increase airflow. Salbutamol is a drug known as a short-acting beta 2 agonist that quickly relieves pain and remains effective for several hours.

ipratropium, another inhaler, relaxes the respiratory tract and pulmonary muscles by regulating the inflammatory process of your body. Some inhalers contain salbutamol and ipratropium. Usually, this combination is used to treat patients who do not respond well to a single prescription inhaler. Long-term versions of salbutamol and ipratropium can be used in patients with chronic asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. < p > < p > When salbutamol and ipratropium are proved unsuccessful, doctors often turn to corticosteroids, which can be taken orally or used as inhalers. Corticosteroids mimic hormones produced naturally by the human body and play a role in calming lung inflammation and tightening the airway. Prednisone, cortisone and hydrocortisone are examples of corticosteroids. The successful treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is highly individualized according to the needs of patients and should be completed under the careful guidance of doctors.
