Is it the flu or just a cold? Such questions are often faced by those who fall ill. First of all, because preventive measures and treatment of one or another infection (viral or bacterial) are often significantly different. In addition, there are a number of clinical differences between influenza and similar to him ARI.The disease here usually begins with inflammatory changes in the nasopharynx without general pronounced symptoms (temperature reaction, noticeable malaise, chills, etc.), while viral infections, and primarily influenza, manifest themselves, as a rule, chills, body aches, fever (often up to 38 ° C and above) on the day of the disease. Bronchitis - inflammation of the bronchi. It can be acute and chronic. In acute bronchitis, patients complain of malaise, a feeling of tightness in the chest, a feeling of tickling along the course of the bronchi. The temperature may rise to 37-38 ° C. A dry, agonizing cough appears. Bronchitis has an unpleasant and constant symptom - runny nose.

The beginning of acute pneumonia in both adults and children is characterized by an increase in temperature to 38-39 ° C, the appearance of severe chills, fever, cough, at first dry, then with the release of sputum, which sometimes has a rusty color due to the admixture of blood. There may be pain in the flank, increasing with inhalation. Breathing is usually shallow, rapid and accompanied by a feeling of shortness of breath. Pneumonia (acute) should be treated in a timely manner, otherwise it turns into chronic. Pleurisy - inflammation of the lung lining (pleura). The disease is "dry" and "wet" (effusion). The latter is usually characteristic of pulmonary tuberculosis. Dry pleurisy begins acutely and is accompanied by an increase in temperature up to 39 ° C, the appearance of sharp stabbing pain in the side, coughing and shortness of breath. Because of the pain, breathing becomes involuntarily shallow. There may be an agonizing cough.

Bronchiectatic disease - a disease characterized by dilation and deformation of the bronchi, accompanied by a violation of their drainage function, retention of secretion (sputum) with further development of purulent inflammatory process. Bronchi are increasingly dilated. These expansions, "pockets", and are called (translated from Greek) bronchiectasis. Pulmonary emphysema (from the Greek - expansion) - a disease of the lungs due to the expansion of pulmonary bubbles - alveoli. The essence of this disease is and increased, compared to the optimal norm, the content of air in the lungs, which prevents normal ventilation in the respiratory system. Tuberculosis has several forms. A distinction is made between acute, subacute and chronic forms of pulmonary tuberculosis. When tuberculosis bacteria (Koch's bacilli) enter the lungs, there is a focus of inflammation with curd necrosis, which is combined with inflammation of the bronchial lymph node, and later the process involves and intrathoracic lymph nodes.

Rheumatism is an infectious and allergic disease in which not so much the joints are affected as the heart. If rheumatism is not cured in time, it in most cases leads to the development of one or another heart defect.Rheumatism is accompanied by pains of a symmetrical nature. But they are also still "volatile" in terms of sensations. In addition, patients have an elevated body temperature (usually up to 37.5-37.8 ° C). Atherosclerosis is the most common disease in middle-aged and elderly people. Excess cholesterol in the blood leads to the deposition of "lime" on the walls of blood vessels, which is fraught with such a serious complication as myocardial infarction, stroke. Patients with atherosclerosis often develop chronic coronary heart disease (CHD).Stenocardia is characterized by narrowing of the blood vessels of the heart. It is characterized by compressive pain in the heart area, irradiating most often in the left arm, left shoulder blade. This is ischemic heart disease, which, if not treated in time, can be complicated by myocardial infarction.

Coronary heart disease is the most common heart disease. The concept of "coronary heart disease" includes both acute forms of the disease (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction) and chronic (focal, or diffuse, cardiosclerosis, that is, lesions of the heart muscle tissue). The basis of the disease is coronary insufficiency, when the heart muscle is worse supplied with blood, most often due to atherosclerosis.In most cases, coronary heart disease develops stealthily, although an "acute discharge" of myocardial infarction is also possible. Almost always the disease manifests itself with symptoms of angina of varying degrees of severity. Actually, heart failure is not an independent disease. It is diagnosed as a symptom in many cardiovascular diseases, when the heart is "tired" and can not cope with its duties, which is explained, first of all, by the weakness of the heart muscle. Heart failure has the main symptoms - it is shortness of breath, increased fatigue, especially when climbing any elevation.

Hypertension is one of the most common diseases of people of both old and young age.

Hypertension is accompanied by the most common complaints of headaches, dizziness, nervousness, increased fatigue, which gradually progresses.The term varicose veins are changes in veins characterized by an irregular increase in their lumen with the formation of a bulge in the area of thinning venous wall.

The disease gradually progresses.
