==Overview==
==Overview==
The four general categories of dyspnea are based on its causes: cardiac, pulmonary, mixed cardiac or pulmonary, and noncardiac or nonpulmonary. Sudden onset of dyspnea (acute dyspnea) is most typically associated with narrowing of the airways or airflow obstruction ([[bronchospasm]]), blockage of one of the arteries of the lung ([[pulmonary embolism]]), [[acute heart failure]] or [[myocardial infarction]], [[pneumonia]], or [[panic disorder]]. Long-standing dyspnea (chronic dyspnea) is most often a manifestation of chronic or progressive diseases of the lung and / or heart, such as [[COPD]], which includes [[chronic bronchitis]] and [[emphysema]].
Life threatening causes of dyspnea include [[acute coronary syndromes]], [[anaphylaxis]], [[carbon monoxide poisoning]] and [[cardiac tamponade]]. Other causes of dyspnea include
 
[[anemia]], [[foreign body aspiration]], [[pneumonia]] and [[pregnancy]].
Dyspnea also is experienced by individuals encountering high-altitude sickness (high-altitude [[pulmonary edema]], [HAPE]). This is associated with rapid rate of mountain ascent and normally occurs during the first 1 to 3 days of achieving a high altitude. Dyspnea resolves with use of supplemental oxygen, rapid descent, and occasionally [[hyperbaric]] therapy.
