As night falls, the city quiets down and people fall asleep. However, for the 50-year-old Zhang, the night was the beginning of a torture. In the dead of night, his breathing became unusually difficult, as if an invisible hand was tightly holding his throat. The pain kept him awake and exhausted.
Zhang Bo has always been a healthy person, he never smokes and does not drink. However, in recent months, he began to experience symptoms of coughing and producing sputum. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a common cold. But as time went on, the symptoms did not get better, but became more and more severe.
One day, Uncle Zhang's wife, Aunt Li, noticed his abnormality. She asked with concern, "Old man, why do you always cough at night lately?" Is it uncomfortable? Uncle Zhang sighed and said helplessly: "I don't know, maybe it's because of the weather." ”
However, it's not that simple. One night, Uncle Zhang suddenly felt a sharp chest pain, as if countless needles were stinging his chest. He groaned in pain and couldn't sleep. Aunt Li was awakened, and she asked in a panic, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" Is it a heart attack? Zhang Bo shook his head and said weakly: "I don't know, but this pain makes me unbearable." ”
The next day, Aunt Li insisted on taking Uncle Zhang to the hospital for examination. After a series of tests, the doctor told them that there were some problems with Zhang's lungs, which could be early signs of lung disease. "These symptoms are more pronounced at night because the lungs are more susceptible to the virus at rest," the doctor explained. If left untimely**, it can lead to more serious lung disease. ”
Hearing the news, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li were both shocked and worried. They decided to face the problem positively and began to take some precautions. First of all, they have improved their living environment by keeping indoor air circulation and avoiding smoking and secondhand smoke. Secondly, they intensified their workouts by sticking to walks and doing some simple exercises every day. In addition, they also pay attention to a balanced diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less greasy food.
After a period of hard work, Uncle Zhang's symptoms gradually improved. His breathing has become easier and his cough and phlegm symptoms have decreased. He felt that he had regained hope and vitality in life.
Through Zhang Bo's experience, we can see that lung disease does not occur suddenly, but has a gradual development process. If we can notice the abnormal signals of the body in time and take corresponding precautions, it is possible to avoid the worsening of the disease.
So, don't take it lightly when we find ourselves experiencing symptoms such as abnormal breathing, coughing and sputum production, and chest pain while sleeping. These may be distress signals from the lungs to the body, reminding us to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, we should also pay attention to maintaining good air quality, exercising and maintaining a balanced diet to prevent the occurrence of lung diseases.
Let's take care of our physical health and cherish every breath in our lives. Only with a healthy body can we enjoy a good life.
