Severe Bronchitis Blog - Symptoms and Genetic Aspects of Bronchitis and Emphysema
Simple cough mustn't be ignored. If this cough transforms into a persistent productive cough with an excessive airway mucus secretion we can think that it is bronchitis. if the process becomes chronic and the cough and sputum persists for minimum three or six months during one or two years with very short periods in which the cough disappears, the diagnosis is sure. All this symptoms leads to the diagnosis of Bronchitis, a disease of the lungs from the COPD category. In Bronchitis the large and small airways can be obstructed and it becomes very difficult to move air in and out of the lungs.

Another Aspect is the Deficiency of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin
This deficiency is caused by the loss of elastin which is a structural protein. All this leads to Emphysema. Because elastin is involved in the maintenance of the strength of the alveolar walls, in Emphysema there will be a permanent destruction of the alveoli.

Anything Chronic is Considered to be a Persistent, Recurrent and Lasting Condition
While chronic bronchitis has often been associated with allergies and/or asthma, there are many other causes that can trigger a bronchial infection. Asthma as we know is a lung disease that is characterized by asthmatic events triggered by a variety of factors which cause a constriction of the bronchial tubes and air passages.

As it's recognized that dust is almost everywhere, it's important to try to limit exposure as much as possible.  This sensitivity of the person with chronic bronchitis prevention (http://percyp2.forum-pro.co.uk/t56-bronchitis-contageous-and-chronic-bronchitis-prevention) determine the level of action that's needed to limit dust exposure.  Someone who is extremely sensitive may need special air cleaning equipment installed in their home.  While another who's sensitivity is not as pronounced may be able to live comfortably in a home simply on a regular cleaning schedule.  Check out the link below for free report on tips to eliminate asthmatic and bronchial cough triggers in your home.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a well regarded medical facility, bronchitis and the resulting cough can also be caused from stomach acid irritating for food pipe or esophagus. This is better known as acid reflux disease.

Exposure to chemical fumes and odors may compromise an otherwise healthy respiratory system.  This in turn can lead to sensitivity to other environmental factors like dust, but also both primary and secondary tobacco smoke.  While the validity of the effects of secondhand smoke are continue to be debated, it has been shown to be an important breathing factor for those with a compromised respiratory system.  All of these factors can contribute to the chronic cough experienced by many asthma, allergy and bronchitis sufferers.

Chronic cough, wheezing, breathing difficulties and a tight chest have also been associated with the common smoker's cough.  This is unfortunate as there are many environmental factors that can contribute lung infections (http://reinaldopetty.createaforum.com/acute-bronchitis/pediatric-bronchitis-diagnosis/) and caused these types of symptoms. Maintaining the value of Bronchial Infection was the main reason for writing this article. Only in this way will the future know more about Bronchial Infection.

One Such Environmental Factor is Dust
While dust is a common substance found everywhere, it's especially problematic for those of us who may have a compromised respiratory system.  A less than ideal breathing tract is found in people suffering with asthma, many allergies and yes even smokers.  What's been ignored in many cases however, is that exposure to chemicals can cause a sensitivity to environmental factors such as dust. Give yourself a momentary pause while reading what there is to read here on Bronchitis Causes. Use this pause to reflect on what you have so far written on Bronchitis Causes.

Unless someone is diabetic, or very close to someone who is, they do not realize how life changing this disease can be. I believe one of the reasons this is, is because so many people are diagnosed with diabetes; that somewhere down the line, the seriousness of the disease, in people's minds, have diminished.

Then There are the Emotional Changes Diabetes Puts Them Through
The anger, restlessness, nervousness, inpatience -- imagine it, and it is effected. It plays roulette with their hormones, causing their emotions and temperment to go into extreme modes. Sadly, this seems to be most of the time. All this happens in all diabetics, but I am concentrating on Type 1, Juvenile Diabetes. Type 1, Juvenile on-set, varies from Type 2, adult on-set, because with type 1, your pancreas does not produce any insulin at all. With Type 2, it produces insulin, but not sufficient enough, or at a normal rate.

All these changes he was going through, made him feel like he was different than the other children. He was afraid to spend a night for quite some time after being diagnosed; because if his sugar went up too high at night, it could cause him to wet the bed. Something that an eleven-year-old would be horrified to do in front of his friends.  We also had to make sure if he did go spend the night with a friend, that they had plenty of food. (Though, his back pack would be packed with extra food for snacks, it couldn't contain the main meals.)  We also had to let the parents know he was diabetic, where they could keep an extra eye out. This would sometimes turn into a nightmare, as Eddie did not want to go around announcing he was diabetic. He also didn't like being treated differently if a mother was handing out sugared drinks or sugared snacks to the other kids. It is only if you find some usage for the matter described here on Bronchitis that we will feel the efforts put in writing on Bronchitis fruitful. So make good usage of it!

Eddie, who is now 23, has kept his sugar under good control, (not tight, sadly -- but good) where he has not had to be hospitalized too often. He mainly has to go into the hospital when he gets a bad illness, such as the flu or stomach virus. When a diabetic's body is stressed with illnesses, it causes the blood sugar to go erratic. High blood sugars read off the chart, even when they have not been able to eat -- then their blood sugar may suddenly drop to a dangerous low. It also makes it more difficult to control because they are not able to eat, or maybe even drink. For diabetics, this is not an option. They are hospitalized where they can receive I.V fluids, and keep a close check on their blood sugar readings. Which sometimes means being pricked in the fingers up to 8 times a day, for several days in a row. We do hope that you find the information here something worth recommending others to read and think about once you complete reading all there is about Bronchitis.

Was Over-Whelming
Three main meals a day and three snacks a day; mandatory, with a minimum of two shots daily for the rest of his life. To say we were under stress, would be putting it mildly. My son put on a brave face, but about the fourth day after he was diagnosed, I had a heart to heart with him. The poor baby thought he had brought the diabetes on himself and was being punished for something he said. Meanwhile, my nine-year-old at home was going through her own personal hell. After speaking to her, I found out she was scared to death that he was going to die, and that she was next. This came from two children whose parents did talk to them and tried to explain everything to the best of their ability.

My life was drastically affected by diabetes twelve years ago when my son, who is now 23, was just eleven years old, and diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Looking for something logical on Bronchitis, we stumbled on the information provided here. Look out for anything illogical here.

Diabetes Causes Such a Wide Array of Secondary Illnesses
Including stunting growth in a growing child. Eddie lost a whole year of growing. When he was 13, he had the bones of an 11 1/2 yr. old. He was put on intra-muscular testoterone shots at home. Which he took a lot better than most adults would, every night for six months. What we have written here about Bronchitis can be considered to be a unique composition on Bronchitis. Let's hope you appreciate it being unique.

Our Lives Became Rigid, At First -- as We Tried to Cope With the Changes
My son, Eddie, could not just run off and play at his friend's house whenever he wanted, or was allowed. He had to make sure he was home to take his shots on time, to eat the regular meals and the snacks in-between. He was a hard player, he had to learn that if he didn't eat like he was supposed to, wheather he was hungry or not, he would end up getting shaky. If he did not get something in him quickly to raise his blood sugar, he may slip so low that an ambulance would have to be called to save his life, if I wasn't there with an emergency glucagon (intra-muscular sugar water) shot -- as he would get extremely lethargic and not be able to communicate, or to understand what was going on around him. So after reading what we have mentioned here on Bronchitis, it is up to you to provide your verdict as to what exactly it is that you find fascinating here.

Hurts me now, as it has since the day he was diagnosed, to know that he may soon be experiencing some very bad health problems because of the diabetes. Problems start to arise mostly after being diabetic for five years. We are living on borrowed time with decent health -- as he now has had diabetes for twelve years. When he says his chest hurts him, I don't think, "Oh no, he may be getting bronchitis." I think, "Oh Lord, please let it be something as simple as bronchitis." When he tells me his feet hurt and his whole body aches -- I know it may be a sign of neuropathy. At 23 he experiences pains and aches no young adult should have to face. But I praise God for each day that goes by where he is still able to work and live life as close to a young adult as he possibly can. God has spared us from him having any serious conditions. I know that may change any day, but I can relish in each day it does not. Writing on Bronchitis proved to be a gamble to us. This is because there simply seemed to be nothing to write about in the beginning of writing. It was only in the process of writing did we get more and more to write on Bronchitis.

The emotional stress one goes through seems to get ignored and lost in the endless information and directions of how to now live your life. This is not just merely staying alive ' it's trying to stay alive without ending up blind, on kidney dialysis, with severe nerve damage, or amputation, just to name a few.

When We Arrived At the Emergency Room, My Son Had a Hard Time Keeping His Eyes Opened
We were finally called to the back, where they started running several tests. Sure enough he was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. His blood sugar was well over 600. Normal blood sugar levels range from 90-110. The reason he was sleeping so much was because he was trying to slip into a diabetic coma. The doctor said that if I didn't bring him in when I did, he would have went into a coma that night. They admitted him to ICU and kept a vigil on him for three days as insulin was delivered through IV. That was the day our lives changed forever; especially my eleven-year-old son's. There are universal applications on Bronchitis everywhere. However, it is up to us to decide the way used for these applications to get the best results from them.

He Has Always Been Hyperactive, So Even When He Was Sick, He Was Active
I started to notice he was looking a little pale and losing weight, even though he ate constantly. I made him a doctor appointment for the next opening, which wasn't until a month away. All of a sudden he started wetting the bed. The urine had a very strong odor. He also started complaining of headaches. At first I thought the complaints, was just an excuse for the eleven-year-old to stay out of school. But when they became so severe, I knew they were real. The second day his headaches were so severe, he stayed home from school. He presented no other symptoms, but he slept all day long. This was enough to definitely make me realize something was extremely wrong. I got out my diagnosis health encyclopedia books and after a few hours, I came down to two diagnosis, kidney trouble or diabetes, (this was before I became a nurse, so I was going only by his symptoms and the words on the page). It was about 6:30 at night, when I told my husband something was terribly wrong and I was taking our son to the emergency room. :o.
