Changes such as emphysema, pulmonary blisters and interstitial lung changes may occur in the lungs in the decade of smoking.
The incidence of pulmonary blisters and emphysema is significantly increased in patients who smoke. Long-term smoking can lead to a chronic inflammatory response in the lungs, which can impair the normal repair function of the lungs, and at the same time, activate inflammatory cells to release a variety of cytokines. These cytokine-mediated chronic inflammation can remodel the airways, destroy lung tissue, and form emphysema and pulmonary blisters.
In addition, some experiments have found that the smoking population is more likely to develop interstitial lung changes than the normal population.
If you have any symptoms of lung discomfort, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and the doctor will formulate an individualized diagnosis and treatment plan according to the specific condition, so as not to delay the condition.
