This article is providing health is an important factor of your life and various effective diseases are creating on body just like lungs swallowing. This is a very complicated disease from related in your lungs.

Gross is said “In healthy subjects, the usual pattern is to time swallows to occur during early to mid exhalation. Healthy individuals also nearly exclusively follow each swallow with exhalation. This pattern assures that there is sufficient air pressure below the vocal folds during a swallow and prevents inhalation of food residue after swallowing,”

“In contrast, in COPD patients, we saw that several aspects of their swallowing and breathing timing were disrupted such that swallows were occurring during inhalation or were followed by inhalation,” she said. “COPD patients also swallowed more often at the end of exhalation at lower lung volumes.”

“Because breathing and eating share the structures of the upper airway, precise coordination is needed to prevent food material from entering the airway while eating,” she said. “In patients with COPD, the competition for the upper airway may cause the respiratory drive to override swallowing function and disrupt the normal patterning. The lungs of COPD patients have less elasticity than those of healthy individuals and this may also play a role in swallowing safety.” Via
