Difficulty Breathing During Rest? Recognize The Symptoms And Dangers Of Tachypnea

JAKARTA - Tachypnea is a condition in which a person experiences fast and shallow breathing that makes the body feel short of air. Although it often occurs during heavy activities, tachyon that appears during rest can be a sign of serious health problems. This condition can be experienced by anyone, ranging from newborns to adults.

Symptoms

Reporting from the Cleveland Clinic page, the main symptoms of tachyon are faster than usual breathing. In addition, some signs that can accompany include skin color, lips, or blue or gray nails, chest pain, shortness of breath or feeling unable to get enough air, difficulty breathing, and feeling anxious or anxious due to lack of oxygen

In babies, tachyon is often seen from the very fast breathing, the nostrils widen as they breathe, and the chest muscles seem to work hard when they inhale.

Cause

Tachypnea can be triggered by various medical conditions, such as asthma, COPD (Constructive Lung Confession), lung infection such as pneumonia, pulmonary embolism (pulmonary blood vessels), carbon monoxide poisoning, severe allergic reactions, anxiety or panic attacks, diabetic ketoacidosis, and sepsis.

In newborns, especially those born premature, tachyon can be caused by residual fluids in the lungs that have not been fully absorbed after birth.

Treatment

The treatment of tachyon depends on the underlying cause. Several general handling steps include:

- Giving oxygen through a mask or nasal tube, especially for babies and children

- Deep breath technique to reduce hyperventilation in adults

- Inhaler or broncodillator for people with asthma

- Drugs such as antibiotics, antihistamines, or anti-coagulants if the cause of infection or allergies

- Ventilator or CPAP engine, if the patient has difficulty breathing seriously

- Psychological therapy such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) if the cause is anxiety disorder

Immediately seek medical assistance if tachyon is accompanied by severe symptoms such as chest pain, blue lips, or decreased consciousness.

In newborns, temporary tachyon usually improves within 2'3 days. While in adults, symptoms can disappear once the main cause is addressed. However, if the cause is not treated properly, tachyon can recur or become chronic.

Prevention

Not all cases of tachyon can be prevented, but the risk of its emergence can be reduced in the following way:

- Avoid exposure to smoke and air pollution

- Maintaining lung health, for example by not smoking

- Exercise regularly to increase endurance

- Manage stress and anxiety through relaxation or therapy

- Install a carbon monoxide detector at home and regularly change its battery

- Maintain control of existing medical conditions, especially asthma or diabetes
