Respiratory Department

Respiratory diseases are a group of diseases that are common in all ages. Because the lungs are the organs responsible for the exchange of O ₂ and CO ₂ , the lungs are directly affected by environmental factors such as microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, etc.), cigarette smoke, air pollution, etc.

In the world in general and in Vietnam in particular, respiratory diseases continue to be a disease burden that health systems of countries have to face.

Among respiratory diseases, the following 5 groups of diseases are common and have a great impact on health as well as mortality rate:

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
• Asthma
• Lower respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia, lung abscess)
• Tuberculosis
• Lung cancer

1. WARNING SIGNS OF RESPIRATORY DISEASES:

Sometimes a persistent cough or mild wheezing is overlooked. Sometimes people think that having a little trouble breathing is just because they are getting older, but you should not ignore any symptoms, no matter how mild, as they may be the first signs of a respiratory condition. Recognizing the warning signs early can help you get treatment before the condition becomes serious or even life-threatening.

If you experience the following warning symptoms, you should see a healthcare professional for an early check-up:

• Chronic cough.
• Shortness of breath.
• Chronic cough with phlegm.
• Wheezing.
• Coughing up blood.
• Chronic chest pain.
