[Dyspnea. II. Clinical and treatment problems].
In a previous paper (Balanova, Surcheva and Ichev, 2001) we have proposed a scheme about pathophysiological mechanisms involved in dyspnea. Some of the clinical problems in dyspnea were discussed in this paper on the base of that scheme, as well as clinical observations on the patients with dyspnea. Two groups of symptoms were considered--subjective and objective, and their significance for the diagnosis of the dyspnea and of the disease that provokes dyspnea were evaluated. A critical analysis of the different forms of dyspnea has been made, and suggestions about the treatment of the subjective symptoms in dyspnea were proposed.
