People with emphysema are also not recommended to drink alcohol after quitting smoking. Alcohol may aggravate the condition or even induce diseases in other systems of the body, so it is recommended to quit smoking and drinking as prescribed by the doctor. The main clinical manifestations of emphysema patients are dyspnea, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Alcohol will aggravate the degree of dyspnea, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and may also increase the risk of respiratory tract infection and respiratory failure. In addition to respiratory diseases, alcohol may also induce peptic ulcer, coronary heart disease, hypertension and other multi-system diseases with serious consequences. Therefore, emphysema patients are advised to quit smoking and drinking, maintain a light diet and regular work and rest in their life, and keep their mind relaxed.
