Diagnosis For Chronic Bronchitis

Diagnosing chronic bronchitis may be very complicated, owing to the fact that chronic bronchitis shares several symptoms with different diseases such as pneumonia and emphysema. In the course of the preliminary check-up a qualified doctor will inquire about your full medical history, as well as request a full physical exam. The physician will most likely inquire about each of the symptoms that are upsetting you, and most likely ask if you are a smoker, since cigarette smoking is the leading trigger of chronic bronchitis. If the results of the examination are insubstantial, there are a wide range of tests that may be conducted to determine if an individual is has developed this disease:

PFT or Pulmonary Function Testing – This method involves a series of respiratory exercises with the help of a machine. This machine serves to measure your airflow, as well as the level of oxygen that can flow into your lungs. This step is pertinent in diagnosing chronic bronchitis for the reason that most patients who suffer from chronic bronchitis are bothered by a gasping sensation, in addition to labored breathing. This method helps the attending doctor to measure the condition of your lungs.

High Resolution Tomography (abbreviated as HRCT) is a form of CT scan that is able to provide the physician with a high resolution scan of your lungs. A High Resolution Computer Tomography is performed precisely like a CT scan, and ideally takes only a short time. HRCT's are more frequently done on an open air, flat table.

X-Ray – A chest X-Ray helps the doctor come up with a clear chronic bronchitis diagnosis, and enables the doctor to eliminate other possible lung diseases.

In general, diagnosing chronic bronchitis is straightforward and painless. If you fear that you are suffering from chronic bronchitis it is imperative for you to seek a consultation with your physician and get diagnosed. Avoid cigarette smoking and breathing in irritants either in the workplace or inside your home. If have been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis it is often a better to watch your diet, and start to exercise daily to ward off the symptoms of of chronic bronchitis.
