Dyspnea, Physiological Dyspnea, Pathologic Dyspnea With Cardiac Disorders, Metabolic Disorders and Respiratory Disorders, Clinical Examination of Dyspnea and Diagnosis of Dyspnea
Abstract
Difficulty in breathing leads to the occurrence of dyspnea. It is also termed as the air hunger. Dyspnea results in discomfort. Prolonged dyspnea happens in cardiac disorders, metabolic disorders as well as respiratory disorders. Dyspnea happens particularly in pneumonia, pneumothorax, poliomyelitis, pulmonary edema, pulmonary effusion and more asthma. Cardiac type of dyspnea occurs especially in left ventricular failure as well as decompemsated mitral stenosis. Metabolic type of dyspnea occurs in diabetic acidosis, enhanced hydrogen ion concentration as well as uremia.
