Dyspnea, or shortness of breath: Causes and treatment

Dyspnea, or shortness of breath, is a common symptom of many illnesses. It is often associated with lung diseases, such as COPD, interstitial lung disease or pulmonary hypertension, but it can also occur with other conditions, such as heart failure or cancer.
Understandably, dyspnea can lead to considerable suffering, anxiety, depression and reliance on caretakers, so physicians like Lauren Goodman, MD, a pulmonologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, work to create a focused, personalized approach to help each patient improve his or her breathing, ultimately leading to a better quality of life.
