There are treatments, however, that can improve shortness of breath and reduce the risk of an exacerbation worsening of breathing symptoms usually because of a respiratory infection. These medications are the cornerstone of emphysema treatment. These medications open the breathing tubes in your lungs to make it easier to get all the air out and thus easier to breathe.
There are 2 types of inhaled bronchodilators, and they work in different ways to open your breathing tubes. Your provider can measure the amount of oxygen in your blood by putting a clip called an oximeter on your finger. Starting a pulmonary rehabilitation program is the one of the best ways to improve shortness of breath, quality of life, and your ability to exercise. Depending on your situation, your provider may consider surgical treatments. For example, parts of your lung that are damaged or destroyed can interfere with more normal parts of your lung.
A surgical procedure can remove these damaged parts. Another surgical procedure used for people with advanced emphysema is to insert little one-way valves—called endobronchial valves —into the breathing tubes in your lungs.
The lung specialist or surgeon uses a long, flexible tube, called a bronchoscope , with a camera and tools on the end to place the valves. The valves allow air to exit the healthy parts of your lungs and collapse the areas of your lungs that are damaged.
Your lungs deflate, which helps your diaphragm muscle work better so that you can breathe better. Make sure that you know as much as possible about your condition so that you can function at the highest possible level. Also, create an action plan in case your breathing gets worse. You can expect your emphysema to get worse if you continue to smoke or inhale second-hand smoke and other irritants in the air.
Many people with emphysema find that they reduce their activities to avoid breathing difficulty. You can expect that using inhaled medications will open your airways and make it easier to breathe. You can also expect to be able to be more active if you exercise regularly, either on your own or by participating in a pulmonary rehabilitation program. If you follow recommended treatments, your breathing may remain stable for a long time. Ideally, you should lead a healthy life style that includes not smoking, eating healthy foods, maintaining a normal body weight, exercising regularly, getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night, and avoiding too much stress.
Get a yearly flu shot to reduce the chances of getting the flu. Also, you should get the two pneumonia shots to prevent the most common bacterial cause of pneumonia. Be sure to use your inhaled medications correctly and as prescribed by your health care provider.
