BronchitisWhat are the Symptoms and Treatments

just wondering how long it will take for the lungs to repair. I smoke a cigarillo for the first time a while a two days ago. it was swisher sweets. i think i smoked it wrong because my lungs feel raspy and i heard that your lungs begin to instantly repair after you stop smoking. I was just wondering how long it would take as an estimate from the time you smoke the cigarillo. thanks!

it's hard to imagine that you can cause lung damage on the first use… You should be fine in about 3 days.

Possibly seeking revenge for Bruiser Brody’s murder, Fernandez drops a couple hard knees on Invader’s chest from the top rope. Was it a work? I don’t know. If not, it’s pretty convincing. And note, Invader I killed (in real life, no undertaker ) Brody, but Invader III is paying for it in the match.

I'm always running and I'm an on again, off again smoker. I quit smoking for about six months but I've recently binged on the Newports again. Since I quit I've been able to run without fatigue better (duh!). But I was wondering if there is an exact scientific statistic on how long it takes for your lungs to recover, or if it varies by person. I'm pretty active, I run five days a week for four or five miles a shot. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Excuse me, I spelled cigarettes wrong. Oooops

My husband decided to stop smoking in June '06. His doctor xrayed his lungs. His doctor wanted him to return in 4 weeks to check his breathing. When he listened to his breathing he said that he could tell that his breathing was much better. He also xrayed his lungs and you could see the improvement there.
I really do not think that running will prevent the cigarettes from harming your lungs, running is much better for cardiac.

I want to havebig lungs so I can run easier and do everything while breathing more easily. I want to be able to run far and fast without having to stop for air.

Like any body part, you can exercise your lungs to be more efficient and powerful. I'd recommend the following: go for a 15 minute walk once a day (you can do this exercise any time but it's most effective if you do it for 15 minutes or more at a time).

While you're walking, take a deep breath lasting about 4 steps, hold it for 4 steps, then exhale for 4 steps, then hold your lungs empty for 4 steps. Once you've done that, increase it to 5 or 6 steps. Keep doing that for the entire walk. It's harder than it sounds.

Make sure you breathe properly - expanding your stomach to let the diaphragm muscles do their work on the inhale. Try not to use your shoulders to breathe deeply, that's not as effective.

My boyfriend had x-rays taken that have shown he has developed some scarring on his lung due to chronic infections of pneumonia. He has seen many doctors but they haven’t been able to give him any kind of diagnosis or treatment. It’s gotten worse, he coughs all the time, has difficulty breathing, and is constantly spitting up phlegm and mucus from his lungs. Is there anything he can do to treat this problem? And what exactly is this condition called?

Have them do some more tests if they can. My dad had the same thing and doctors who believed the same, but it turned out he had inhaled some kind of microbe - they are still unsure what it was. He is on prednisone now and getting better, but it has taken some time. He did have to have a lung biopsy for the diagnosis, and it was pretty hard on him, but he is 65.

I recently quit smoking and I'm very proud of myself because it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Now that I think I'm in the clear from going back to it, I'm wondering if my lungs will undue the damage I have done to them and how long it will take. I smoked for about 19 years.

Congratulations!

There are three general areas of damage caused by cigarettes:

- Functional problems. Things like no taste, no smell, hacking cough, energy level will return within a few days after quitting smoking.

- Cancer and heart disease. The risk of cancer drops gradually after quitting, and levels out after about 5 years at only slightly more than the average person. In other words, if you quit for at least 5 years and don't get cancer in that time, your chances of getting it are then only a little more than the average person. Similar arguments hold for your risk of heart disease.

- COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) - Emphysema, which is destruction of the walls of the alveoli, will never recover, but it will get worse with continued smoking. Chronic bronchitis, which is damage to the walls of the bronchioles, will sometimes get better, but again, it will get worse with continued smoking.

If that's not reason enough to quit smoking I don't know what else is. Good luck and congratulations again!
