Why weight loss with COPD?

Question

why do some people lose weight with COPD?

Answer 1

Patients with COPD have very limited energy due to the difficulty in breathing. All of their energy is centered on taking every breath. Eating takes a lot of energy; each bite, chewing your food, both of which will tire anyone out who is having a hard time breathing. The patient usually doesn't want to even try to eat, thus they lose weight. Patients with COPD are usually put on diets in which they eat small amounts, but are more frequent times. The food is also higher calorie so that with each bite, they get more calories than with their normal food intake.

I have taken care of many patients with COPD. They need much encouragement to eat. Higher calories and easier-to-chew food is what we always encourage them to eat.

Answer 2

Because it takes so much energy to breathe that the calories are burned off trying to maintain the correct PH in your blood. Contact a diet counselor at your hospital to get a good high calorie diet.
