There are many reasons that lead to respiratory failure , among which interstitial pneumonia is a very important factor. Interstitial pneumonia is a collective name for a group of diseases, and weather, smoking, and indoor environmental changes are all factors that may affect the incidence of interstitial pneumonia. Many people know that pneumonia is a common respiratory disease, but when it comes to interstitial pneumonia, not many people know about it.
The main symptoms of interstitial pneumonia
Shortness of breath or dyspnea The early symptoms of the disease are not obvious. Patients only show shortness of breath or shortness of breath during strenuous activities, so they are usually not taken seriously. As pulmonary fibrosis progresses, dyspnea will gradually worsen, and there will be obvious shortness of breath or shortness of breath during slight activities or even at rest. This process can take as long as months or even years, or as short as a few weeks.
The main external factors that affect the disease
Drastic changes in weather, such as a sudden drop or rise in temperature, make the lungs susceptible to infection, which in turn causes interstitial pneumonia.
Allergy factors such as dust mites in the fur of households with pets may become allergens to the human body.
The indoor environment, indoor air conditioners, humidifiers, etc. have not been cleaned for a long time, becoming a harbor for bacteria, mold, and viruses. It is also the root cause of interstitial pneumonia, which occurs through human breathing. In addition, some toxic substances in decoration materials are also the cause of the disease.
