When an individual's lungs cannot supply the blood with sufficient oxygen for a long time, it is called respiratory failure. Chronic respiratory failure is a real handicap in the performance of daily activities for people who suffer from it. Indeed, the various organs are not properly oxygenated and as a result, they no longer perform their functions properly. This condition is usually treated with allopathy, but you can alleviate the symptoms with homeopathic remedies. Nevertheless, you should not consider homeopathic treatments as being one-size-fits-all remedies, you should use them as a complement to allopathic treatment.
Manifestations of chronic respiratory failure
Shortness of breath is one of the main symptoms of this pathology. It can go unnoticed in the early stages of the disease because the body is still able to compensate for the lack of oxygen. This is done by different mechanisms, such as the acceleration of the heart rate and this shortness of breath is important because the pathology evolves over time. Thus, at the beginning, it only appears during intense efforts and as the disease progresses, it occurs for less and less significant efforts. In advanced stages, the patient is constantly short of breath and feels a feeling of suffocation even at rest, which prevents him from performing the small gestures of daily life. In addition, in addition to this breathing difficulty, there are other symptoms such as insufficient oxygen supply to the extremities, for example fingers, toes, lips, ears, etc. This results in the loss of their normal coloration and they become bluish. Then, the rate of the heartbeat gradually increases to compensate for the oxygen deficit and the patient then feels palpitations that become more and more important over time. Finally, poor oxygenation of noble organs such as the brain and cerebellum leads to headaches, especially in the morning when you wake up.
Reduction of shortness of breath
There is no homeopathic remedy to make breathing difficulties disappear completely. However, their importance can be reduced with homeopathy by taking 3 granules of Antimonium arsenicosum 7 CH every 10 minutes. The doses should be spaced out as soon as the patient's respiratory conditions improve.
Fight palpitations
3 granules of Nux vomica 7 CH every 15 minutes are indicated when palpitations occur after strenuous exertion. When the heart beats very fast for minor efforts or even at rest, you should take 5 granules of Belladonna 7CH in a single dose and repeat after an hour if the palpitations persist.
In
case of mild headaches, Nux vomica 7 CH, at a rate of 3 granules every half hour, gives good results. For excruciating headaches, you should take 3 granules of Belladonna 9 CH every 15 minutes for the first two hours, then every half hour and finally every 60 minutes.
When to see a doctor?
As a general rule, any problem with breathing difficulties should lead to a medical consultation. Thus, any shortness of breath that is not improved by a few days of homeopathic treatment should prompt the patient to have a careful medical examination at a doctor's office or better at the hospital so as not to miss a serious illness that could put his life at risk.
