Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*At first glance its anxiety related symptoms provided any underlying
pathology is excluded by thorough clinical evaluation & necessary evaluation
like X-ray Chest , Pulmonary function test etc.
*Effects over lungs after withdrawal of smoking ( if stopped at present ) or
continuous insult to bronchi in case of current smoking ; decreased lung
immunity are of major concerns with Psychology aspects.
*Your role as a true friend :
- give her tremendous moral support to keep absolute abstinence from
smoking & see that she doesn`t divert herself to another abuse substance
like LSD or marijuana etc. This is the corner stone of the therapy.
- make her relax , calm by various means.
- deep breathing exercises with YOGA must for 30 min. without failure.
- regular walking of 30-40 min. in fresh air to rejuvenate lungs with fresh
oxygen.
- avoid all oily / spicy / nonveg stuffs / beverages / excess ghee / sugar
- avoid exposure to congested areas , crowds, pollen containing atmosphere
excess cold.
- maintain her hydration , BP , Blood sugar levels.
- avoid prolong fasting / overeating.
- have adequate sound sleep of 8 hours.
- no alcohol consumption if any.
- counsel her for any underlying fear or problem which she is not able to
disclose to her parents .
- food rich in protein , iron , fiber , vitamins & anti-oxidants to boost her
immunity levels.
- consult later doctor if required for further evaluation / counselling.
