Chronic Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis is an inflammation of the main airways in the lungs that continues for a long period of time or keeps coming back. Cigarette smoking is the main cause of chronic bronchitis. The more a person smokes, the more likely the person will develop severe bronchitis. Secondhand smoke may also cause chronic bronchitis. Air pollution, infection and allergies make chronic bronchitis worse.

Symptoms include a cough that produces mucus (sputum), which may be blood streaked; shortness of breath aggravated by exertion or mild activity; frequent respiratory infections that worsen symptoms; wheezing; fatigue; ankle, foot and leg swelling that affects both sides; and headaches.

Chronic bronchitis is one form of chronic obstructive pulmonary (lung) disease. Chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma as a group are a leading cause of death in the U.S.

  1. A person who suffers from this chronic condition needs to be hospitalized and requires special medical attention. Chronic asthma affects the airways. These airways take breath into and out of the lungs. When these airways got affected they swelled and results in the blocking the path of air reaching to the lungs. Useful information about chronic asthma symptoms can help to detect the problem on the right time. Asthma can posses a very serious threat to the sufferer’s life.
