The Drug that May be Dangerous for People with COPD

If you have COPD, you might know how hard it is to fall asleep some nights. This is one of the most common side effects of having COPD, besides not being able to breathe correctly. Not getting enough sleep is much more than just a nuisance and feeling tired the next day. It affects every aspect of your life, including your moods and how well you are able to deal with regular, everyday things. If you’re having trouble sleeping for extended amount of time, you feel like you would do anything for a good nights sleep.

There is one class of drugs commonly used for insomnia and depression, called benzodiazepines, which has been found to be dangerous for people with COPD in a recent study. The 2004 to 2009 study followed a group of patients with COPD to see how often benzodiazepines were prescribed to them, and whether or not their lung function decreased because of the drug. Benzodiazepines are also known as sedative hypnotic drugs, and have been suspected to worsen existing lung conditions.

COPD Overdiagnosed in Patients Without Medical Insurance

COPD Overdiagnosed in Patients Without Medical Insurance

If you’ve been diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD, and medical insurance did not cover you at the time of your diagnosis, you might want to get a second opinion and request a spirometry test. It was found recently in a small study, that nearly half of uninsured patients diagnosed with COPD did not have the disease. These diagnoses were based only on the symptoms, and not by the somewhat expensive spirometry test, which is the only accurate way of finding out if one has COPD.

An overdiagnosis can be just as dangerous as an underdiagnosis since you would be getting treatment for something you don’t have, and not for what is wrong. COPD can be severe to diagnose without the proper testing since the symptoms of COPD can be mistaken for the symptoms of other diseases, and vice versa.

Effectiveness of Electronic Cigarettes in Helping You Quit Smoking

Electronic cigarettes are a fairly new invention to help making quitting smoking a little easier. Anyone who has tried to quit smoking knows exactly how hard it can be, even for people who desperately want to quit. Nicotine, which is the addictive substance in cigarettes, releases a chemical in the brain known as dopamine, which is also know as the reward response and the reason why we become dependent on substances. Your body and mind think that they need tobacco smoke to be okay, and to function properly.

Electronic cigarettes contain nicotine, but in smaller amounts and do not release toxic substances into your lungs. They give you the same feeling as smoking a cigarette, because you go through the same motions as when you would put a cigarette to your lips and inhale something, only this time, it’s a water vapor instead of toxin-filled smoke.
