In the advanced stages of cor pulmonale and pulmonary emphysema, the condition is relatively severe, and patients may develop respiratory failure and heart failure. Symptoms include chest tightness, shortness of breath, hepatomegaly, chest pain, and headache. If infection is also present, additional symptoms such as fever and cough with yellow purulent sputum may occur. Upon experiencing these symptoms, it is recommended to seek prompt medical attention at a hospital and receive timely treatment based on individual health conditions to control disease progression.
