Dyspnoea, or shortness of breath, is the uncomfortable awareness of breathing difficulty. It may arise from lung diseases, heart conditions, anemia, obesity, or anxiety. Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing dyspnoea through breathing retraining, posture correction, airway clearance, relaxation, and exercise programs. Proper management reduces breathlessness, improves oxygen efficiency, and enhances quality of life.
Causes of Dysponea:
- Chronic lung disease (COPD, asthma, fibrosis)
- Heart failure or cardiac disorders
- Post-COVID or pneumonia recovery
- Anemia or poor oxygen transport
- Obesity or deconditioning
- Anxiety or panic disorders
Symptoms of Dysponea:
- Shortness of breath during activity or rest
- Rapid or shallow breathing
- Chest tightness or discomfort
- Fatigue and reduced endurance
- Anxiety or fear with breathing difficulty
- Poor sleep due to breathlessness
Breathe easier and move with confidence through physiotherapy care.
