Ano po ang dapat kong gawin sa tatay ko na may COPD? Umiinom nadin po siya ng gamot at inhaler. Bakit po kaya minsan nagsuka siya dahil nahilo? Nong dinala ko po ang tatay ko sa center bumaba po yung pulse rate niya.

Magkaiba ang TB at COPD. Kailangan ay strict na mag comply sa gamutan ang iyong ama at sundin ang payo ng doktor tungkol sa pag-inom ng gamot. Siya ba ay naninigarilyo noon at matagal na panahon?

Opo dok. Tapos nong kinausap ko siya na huwag nang manigarilyo, tumigil po siya. After non mga 5 years nagkaroon siya ng COPD sabi ng doktor. Dahil po ba yon sa biglaang pagtigil sa paninigarilyo?

Ang TB o tuberculosis ay isang infection sa baga samantalang ang COPD o chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ay madalas dulot na malakas na paninigarilyo. Mabuting magpatingin sa isang doktor (pulmonologist) upang mas masuri at mabigyan ng nararapat na gamot. Kung nahihilo siya at nasusuka, maaaring may ibang dahilan. Mabuti tumigil na siya sa paninigarilyo, makakatulong ito sa kanyang COPD. Hindi siya nagka-COPD dahil sa biglang pagtigil sa paninigarilyo.
