Yeh dard koi na samjhe: COPD flare-up se kaise bachein ghar pe?

Arre yaar, raat ko sochta hoon toh darr lagta hai. Pichle hafte ek chhoti si thand lag gayi thi, bas zara si khansi aayi, aur agle din se saans phoolna shuru ho gaya. Bahut zor laga ke bachaya, nebulizer aur steroids se kaam chala liya, lekin man mein dar baitha hai ki kabhi wapas hospital na jaana pade. Woh ventilator ka khayal aata hai toh dil dhadakta hai.

Mere bete ne oxygen cylinder rakh diya hai ghar mein, lekin jab bhi saans ka pressure kam hota hai toh mujhe lagta hai jaise koi cheekh raha hai andar. Pichli baar jab flare-up hua tha, do hafte ICU mein pade the. Bahut bura lagta hai jab grandson aata hai aur kehta hai, "Dadu, aapke saath khelne ka time nahi hai?" Unhe bore ho raha hai mujhse. Main guilt mein hoon ki apni jawani mein smoking ki, ab family ko bhi pareshan karta hoon.

Kya koi bata sakta hai ki home par flare-up kaise rok sakte hain? Koi specific breathing exercise ya steam ka koi tarika hai jo 100% kaam kare? Ya phir bas kismat mein likha hai sab?
