Is Lung Disease reversable?
Question:
Answers:
It really depends on what type of lung disease your referring to. Email me more details and I can give you better answers.
What type? Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are progressive irreversible diseases, which get worse over time, especially with exposure to pollution and cigarette smoke.
It depends. Something like pneumonia is treatable, curable and generally won't do long-term damage to your lung tissue. However, if you are a smoker, you will have irreversable lung damage long before you "feel" any symptoms. If you have a chronic condition like COPD or Emphysema and you stop smoking, you can slow or halt the damage to your lungs but you cannot reverse it.
Usually not. COPD only gets worse over time. Inflammation causes lung remolding. The lungs become damaged and makes it harder to breath.
Asthma : Reversible
Ephysemia/COPD : irreversible
