Bendopnea

Bendopnea is a newly described symptom, normally of heart failure, meaning shortness of breath felt when leaning forward. Trepopnea and Bendopnea are symptom stubs.

See Trepopnea and Bendopnea

Bronchus

A bronchus (bronchi) is a passage or airway in the lower respiratory tract that conducts air into the lungs.

See Trepopnea and Bronchus

Gravity

In physics, gravity is a fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between all things that have mass.

See Trepopnea and Gravity

Heart failure

Heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), is a syndrome caused by an impairment in the heart's ability to fill with and pump blood.

See Trepopnea and Heart failure

Hypoxemia

Hypoxemia is an abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood.

See Trepopnea and Hypoxemia

Lung

The lungs are the central organs of the respiratory system in humans and some other animals, including tetrapods, some snails and a small number of fish.

See Trepopnea and Lung

Orthopnea

Orthopnea or orthopnoea is shortness of breath (dyspnea) that occurs when lying flat, causing the person to have to sleep propped up in bed or sitting in a chair. Trepopnea and Orthopnea are Breathing abnormalities.

See Trepopnea and Orthopnea

Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea

Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea (PND) is an attack of severe shortness of breath and coughing that generally occurs at night.

See Trepopnea and Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea

Perfusion

Perfusion is the passage of fluid through the circulatory system or lymphatic system to an organ or a tissue, usually referring to the delivery of blood to a capillary bed in tissue.

See Trepopnea and Perfusion

Platypnea

Platypnea or platypnoea is shortness of breath (dyspnea) that is relieved when lying down, and worsens when sitting or standing upright. Trepopnea and Platypnea are Breathing abnormalities.

See Trepopnea and Platypnea

Pleural effusion

A pleural effusion is accumulation of excessive fluid in the pleural space, the potential space that surrounds each lung.

See Trepopnea and Pleural effusion

Shortness of breath

Shortness of breath (SOB), known as dyspnea (in AmE) or dyspnoea (in BrE), is an uncomfortable feeling of not being able to breathe well enough. Trepopnea and Shortness of breath are Breathing abnormalities.

See Trepopnea and Shortness of breath
