Understanding Breathlessness in Asthma

Understanding patient’s breathlessness and its underlying condition is a common problem in the respiratory clinic.

Professor Stephen Fowler explores the possible causes for breathlessness which might manifest in a comorbidity of asthma rather than asthma itself, and provides guidance on what to look out for in making a diagnosis. He proposes asking the key questions: “Does the patient have asthma and if not, what could it be?” and/or “Is asthma causing the symptoms and if not, what is?”

We hope that you found the content valuable. To ensure that we continue to provide topics and content of interest, we would very much value your feedback by completing a short questionnaire.
