Consider
the following scenario: During a routine physical, a man tells
his doctor that his friends have commented that he is short of
breath when he talks on the telephone. The patient indicates that
he is unaware of any breathing discomfort.
Question
3.1
Does this patient have
dyspnea?
Now imagine these four
scenarios and the breathing sensations that might accompany them:
- You are walking
as fast as you can on a treadmill
- You are breathing
through a thin tube
- You are inhaling
a gas rich in carbon dioxide
- You are holding
your breath
Question 3.2
Is the quality of your
breathing sensations the same or different with these different
stimuli?
SAME
DIFFERENT
