guys pernah dgr psl ni, i think not very familiar coz ramai yg tak aware about ths symptons...but maybe u have this problem.
Dyspnea
Dyspnea (shortness of breath) is the unpleasant sensation of difficulty in breathing.
An increase in the rate and depth of breathing occurs normally during exercise and at high altitudes, but the increase seldom causes discomfort. Breathing is also increased at rest in people with many illnesses, whether of the lungs or of other parts of the body. For example, people with a fever generally breathe faster.
With dyspnea, faster breathing is accompanied by the sensation of running out of air. The person feels a sensation of not being able to breathe fast enough or deeply enough. Other sensations include an awareness of increased muscular effort to expand the chest when breathing in or to expel air when breathing out, the uncomfortable sensation that inhaling (inspiration) is urgently needed before exhaling (expiration) is completed, and various sensations often described as tightness in the chest.

From your description, it sounds like asthma, no?
I've encountered such episodes. A couple of weeks ago I had costo chronditis - caused by long period of coughing. The pain is similar as you described with the addition of deep chest pain. |

Among the most common symptoms of lung disorders are cough, shortness of breath (dyspnea), and wheezing.
when u have asthma it is not necessarily u have lung problem.asthma is common in our life, many of us have it since we are small kan? but astma if u tak bagi rawatan blh rosakkan ur lung. thats y if u wheezing dgn teruk then gi jumpa doc.
Coughing, a familiar but complicated reflex, is one way in which the lungs and airways are protected. Along with other mechanisms, coughing helps to protect the lungs from particles that have been inhaled. Coughing sometimes brings up sputum (also called phlegm)梐 mixture of mucus, debris, and cells expelled by the lungs.
How long has the cough been present?
At what time of day does the cough occur?
What factors梥uch as cold air, body position, talking, eating, or drinking梚nfluence the cough?
Is the cough accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, hoarseness, dizziness, or wheezing?
Does the cough bring up sputum or blood?
Are there symptoms of another disorder that could cause a cough (for example, gastroesophageal reflux or postnasal drip)?
Could a drug be causing the cough?
What color is the sputum? |
