Emphysema typically shows very little symptoms, as it comes through gradually. However, many doctors recommend you stop by their office when normal activities can be difficult to get through; one example is to see if you can climb a flight of stairs without getting winded. You may also have problems keeping your mind as sharp as it once was.*
Causes:
- Smoking habitually (tobacco, marijuana, etc.)
- Pollution in the air
- Dust and chemical fumes in your home.
Symptoms:
- Frequent lung infections
- A lot of mucus
- Wheezing
- Reduced appetite and weight loss
- Fatigue
- Sleep problems
- Anxiety and depression
Your Different Treatment Options
Lifestyle Counseling
The majority of cases of emphysema come from smoking, and we can take a deep look back and look at what drives you to smoke and ways of combating that urge to smoke. You can meet with the natural health specialists we have in our facility to find healthier ways of dealing with stress and slow down the effects the disease will have on your body.*
Herbal Therapy
While you may not be able to reverse course on your emphysema, we can work with you to find ways to lessen the impact it’s had on your lungs. We can create several types of herbal remedies that you can use with the medication and treatments your doctor has made so you can breathe a little bit easier throughout your day.*
