Symptoms
The symptoms of respiratory disease differ depending on the disease. Common symptoms are:
- Shortness of breath or dyspnea which usually occurs with exercise and can interfere with daily activities. In severe cases, shortness of breath can occur while resting.
- Cough with or without the production of sputum.
- Coughing blood (haemoptysis).
- Chest pain. This may or may not be pleuritic chest pain (that is pain that worsens with the movements of breathing).
- Noisy breathing, either wheeze or stridor.
- Somnolence.
- Loss of appetite.
- Weight loss.
- Cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of the lips, tongue or fingers.
In some cases respiratory disease is diagnosed without symptoms in the investigation of another disease or through a routine check.
