Chronic breathlessness
View through CrossRef
Chronic breathlessness (dyspnoea) can be defined as an unpleasant awareness of breathing at a level of exercise which would not cause symptoms in a healthy person of the same age (or which did not previously cause symptoms), persisting for more than 1 month. Breathlessness may be accompanied by other symptoms such as chest tightness, cough, or wheeze, which together with the patient’s comorbidities and risk factors for specific diseases help shape the differential diagnosis.
