Emphysema - Personal Injury Compensation Claims with clickandclaim's Personal Injury Solicitors
What is Emphysema?
Emphysema is a type of Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. It can be caused by the continuous exposure to toxic chemicals in poor working conditions.
Symptoms
Emphysema causes breathing difficulties as the elasticity of Lung Tissue is lost and small airways collapse. Sufferers will have shortness of breath, hyperventilation and an expanded chest.
Treatment
Unfortunately Emphysema is an irreversible degenerative condition. This means that once you have the condition, there is no cure for it and your condition will gradually deteriorate. There are measures which can be taken to relieve the symptoms, however Emphysema cannot be cured unless a ‘Lung Transplant’ is arranged.
Usually the worst sufferers of Emphysema are the older generation of people who have developed the condition early on in life and as a result have experienced a gradual deterioration in health.
Clickandclaim can help to ease your suffering if you suffer from Emphysema as a result of poor working conditions or negligence of another party.
