Some people may even deny the presence of a cough or pass it off with a shrug and a comment such as, "Well, doesn't everybody cough?" Frequently the morning cough is described as a cigarette cough or a hackers cough and considered to be normal. Cough is the most common sym- pom in chronic bronchitis. It tends to occur more frequently in the morning and to last longer than usual if a chest cold develops. In addition there are the aggra- vating factors of actual viral and bacterial infections and environ- mental air pollution. Allergies may also contribute to the irritation process in the sus- ceptible person. The cause of the inflammation in chronic bronchitis is not infect- ion but an irritation factor in the bronchial tubes--and it is hard to avoid the fact that the common- est irritant is inhaled tobacco smoke. This change results in a narrow- ing of the airway so that the per- son with obstructive bronchitis has difficulty in getting air into his lungs, and even more dif- ficulty moving air out of the lungs. At this stage he may have no- ticed difficulty in breathing, often with a wheezing noise being pre- sent particularly when blowing the air from the lungs. As the term implies, chronic bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi of all sizes. This in- flammation causes an obstructive thickening of the wall of the air- ways and an increase in the amount of mucus normally produced. By Dr. “I!“ C. Gray Chronic bronchitis as a diam tic term was first used in Mm. However, it was not until 1958 that the diagnosis of chronic brood:- itis was considered to be a clinical diagnosis based on the presence of chronic cough and sputum on most days for at least three months in the year, during at least two con- secutive years.

Ex ertion necessitates the moving of air in and out of the lungs more rapidly. Also, the yheezing may be associated with excess mucus accumulation in the tubes and then after coughing, the wheezing les- sens or disappears. Recognition of chronic bronch- itis depends on a carefully taken history revealing cough and spu- tum.

Breathlessness is more common in emphysema. When the bronchi are irritated, more protective mucus is formed and is often thicker.

Normally, glands in the walls of the bronchi secrete mucus that forms a thin film aver the airways trapping foreign particles such as dust, bacteria, air pollutants and products of smoking..
