Breathing Hard

Hard breathing is a condition when, when listening to the patient’s lungs, a change in the timbre of breathing and unequal duration of inhalation and exhalation are noted. Such breathing can be caused by various diseases, such as bronchitis, pneumonia and pneumosclerosis.

With bronchitis, for example, breathing can become harsh due to inflammation of the bronchi and a decrease in their lumen. This leads to difficulty breathing and a change in timbre to a rougher and hoarse tone. Pneumonia can also cause hard breathing, as inflammation of the lungs can lead to a decrease in lung volume and difficulty breathing.

Hard breathing can also be caused by pneumosclerosis - the process of formation of scar tissue in the lungs after suffering from inflammatory diseases. This process can lead to a decrease in lung volume and deterioration in lung function.

To diagnose hard breathing, it is necessary to auscultate the lungs. The doctor listens to the patient's lungs with a stethoscope and notes changes in breathing. If your breathing is harsh, this may indicate the presence of a lung disease and require further testing and treatment.

Treatment for hard breathing depends on the cause of its occurrence. If this is associated with bronchitis or pneumonia, then it is necessary to prescribe antibacterial therapy and symptomatic treatment. Pneumosclerosis may require surgery to remove scar tissue.

In any case, if you experience hard breathing, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Title: Hard breathing Description: Apnea is a violation of the respiratory rhythm in which, during an episode of obstruction, the pressure in the airways remains minimal, so air does not enter the alveoli. Harsh breathing (dyspnea) is described as a paradoxical sound when exhaled through a tube. The sound of pulmonary stridor is heard in both lungs simultaneously. In this case, patients may complain of chest pain, difficulty and discomfort when breathing, and a feeling of lack of air. Stenosis causes narrowing of the airways, making it difficult for air to pass through, causing inhalation/exhalation to sound like a noise

**Hard breathing** is one of the indicators of a violation of the structure of the tissue of the lungs or chest organs, in which there is a violation of the respiratory function of the bronchi and difficulty in the flow of oxygen into the body. When breathing hard, the passage of air through the bronchi is difficult, and various obstacles arise in the form of nodes or compactions of various sizes and densities. Under such conditions, the sounds produced during inhalation and exhalation have different intensities and timbres. When performing auscultation, special attention should be paid to places where the respiratory function is impaired, i.e. symptomatic places.

**During hard breathing** for different sizes of bronchi there should be the following indicators:

1) with bronchioles 0.5-1.5 mm - tissue compaction and increased turbulence (tension). 2) with bronchi 2-3 mm - uneven air mixture. 3) if the bronchus is more than 3 mm - conduction disturbances. 4) in the mediastinum - increased respiratory sounds.
