A slow, progressive interruption of the airflow within the lungs due to pulmonary emphysema and chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Dyspnea, a prevalent respiratory ailment, is characterized by the challenging and progressively arduous process of breathing, resulting in compromised gas exchange. This condition impedes the normal flow of air into and out of the lungs, leading to respiratory distress and a decreased capacity to effectively exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Dyspnea can arise from various underlying causes, such as lung disorders, heart conditions, or other systemic diseases. Managing dyspnea involves addressing its root cause and implementing appropriate interventions to alleviate symptoms and improve respiratory function.
