Serious breathing disorders can be caused by both external factors and serious diseases, which require serious treatment. Usually this:.

Diseases of the lungs (influenza bronchopneumonia, tumors of the trachea and bronchi, the presence of a foreign body in the respiratory tract).

Allergic diseases (bronchial asthma, mediastinal emphysema).

Diseases of the brain as primary (craniocerebral trauma, spasm of cerebral vessels, thromboembolism), and complications (tuberculosis meningitis, circulatory disorders), according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net Diabetes mellitus.

Poisonings of a Different Nature.

Shock.

Below are the most common respiratory disorders Noisy breathing A breathing disorder in which breathing noises are audible at a distance. There is such a violation of breathing due to reduced airway patency, caused by diseases, external factors, rhythm disturbances and depth of breathing.

Noisy breathing occurs in the following cases:.

lesions of the upper respiratory tract, which include the trachea and larynx - there is stenotic breathing, or inspiratory dyspnea;.

the formation of a tumor or inflammation on the upper respiratory tract causes stridorous respiration, which is characterized by a whistle and can be paroxysmal. For example, seizures cause swelling in the trachea;.

bronchial asthma causes bronchial obstruction, which also results in wheezing, with exhalation difficult - the so-called expiratory dyspnea, which is a specific symptom of asthma.

Apnea Apnea is a stop of breathing. Such a violation of breathing is usually caused by hyperventilation of the lungs with very deep breathing, resulting in a decrease in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood, violating the permissible balance of blood levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Breathing paths narrow, air movement is difficult for them. In especially severe cases it is observed:.

tachycardia;.

a sharp drop in blood pressure to a critical level;.

loss of consciousness, preceded by convulsions;.

fibrillation leading to cardiac arrest.

Violations of the rhythm and depth of breathing Such violations of breathing are characterized by the appearance of pauses in the process of breathing. Violations of rhythm and depth can be caused by a number of reasons:.

Under-oxidized metabolic products (slags, toxins and t. ) accumulate in the blood and affect the breathing;.

oxygen starvation and carbon dioxide poisoning. These phenomena are caused by violations of ventilation of the lungs, blood circulation, severe intoxication due to poisoning, or a number of diseases;.

edema of cells of the neural structures of the brainstem, to which craniocerebral injuries, injuries (compression, bruising) in the trunk of the brain result;.

viral encephalomyelitis cause severe damage to the respiratory center;.

cerebral hemorrhages, cerebral vasospasms, strokes and other disorders of the cerebral circulation.

Breath Breath Biota's breathing is mainly caused by lesions of the central nervous system, as a result of which the excitability of the respiratory center decreases. Such lesions are caused by shocks, stresses, disorders of cerebral circulation, poisonings. Just like in the breathing disorders described above, Biota breathing can be caused by virus-derived encephalomyelitis. Cases of this form of respiration in cases of tuberculous meningitis.

For the breathing of the Biota, it is characteristic to alternate long pauses in breathing and normal uniform breathing movements without disturbing the rhythm.

Cheyne-Stokes breathing A periodic form of breathing, in which the respiratory movements gradually deepen and increase to the maximum, and then move at the same rate from the quickened and deepened breathing to the rarer and shallower, with the appearance of a pause at the end of the "wave". After a pause, the cycle repeats.

This type of breathing is mainly caused by an overabundance of carbon dioxide in the blood, so the respiratory center lowers its work. In young children, such a respiratory disorder occurs quite often, and it passes with age. In adults, the following can be caused:.

violation of cerebral circulation (spasms of blood vessels, strokes, hemorrhages);.

intoxication caused by various diseases, or external causes (alcohol, nicotine and narcotic poisoning, poisoning with chemicals, drug overdose and t. );.

diabetic coma;.

uremic coma, which occurs with absolute renal failure;.

heart failure;.

atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels;.

craniocerebral trauma;.

hydrocephalus (hydrocephalus);.

exacerbation of bronchial asthma, causing an attack of asthma (asthmatic status).

Breath of Kussmaul Pathological form of breathing, in which respiratory movements are rare and rhythmic (deep breath - exhaled breath). It is mainly manifested in patients with a consciousness disorder caused by coma of various kinds. To lead to a violation of breathing of this kind can also intoxication, diseases that cause changes in the acid-base balance of the body, dehydration.

Tachypnea Type of dyspnea. The respiratory movement with this type of respiratory disturbance is superficial, their rhythm is not disturbed. Superficial breathing calls for insufficient ventilation of the lungs, can last for several days. It is mainly found in healthy people with strong nervous excitement or heavy physical work and turns into a normal rhythm when eliminating factors. It can also be a consequence of some diseases.

Depending on the nature of the disorder, it makes sense if you have a breathing disorder:.

to an allergist if there is a suspicion of asthma;.

to toxicologist in intoxication;.



to a neurologist if you have experienced shock or stress;.

To the infectious disease specialist, if you have transferred infectious diseases.

For general counseling it is recommended to undergo examination at:.

Traumatologist;.

endocrinologist;.

the oncologist;.

somnologist.

For particularly severe respiratory disorders (choking, stopping breathing), call an ambulance.
