Emphysema is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by the gradual damage and enlargement of the air sacs in the lungs.
This irreversible condition primarily results from long-term exposure to irritants, such as cigarette smoke and environmental pollutants. Over time, the lung tissue loses its elasticity, making it difficult for the air sacs to contract and expand efficiently. This leads to airflow limitation, causing persistent shortness of breath and reduced oxygen exchange.
Individuals with emphysema may experience coughing, wheezing, and increased susceptibility to respiratory infections. The condition is often associated with chronic bronchitis, collectively known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Emphysema primarily affects older adults, particularly those with a history of smoking or occupational exposure to harmful substances. Managing symptoms involves lifestyle adjustments and maintaining respiratory health to enhance overall well-being. Regular monitoring and awareness of potential triggers are crucial aspects of living with emphysema.
