Shortness of Breath

Our Shortness of Breath care approach encompasses the following key elements:

Comprehensive Evaluation: Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Our team conducts thorough evaluations to determine the underlying cause of your shortness of breath, whether it’s related to the heart, lungs, or other factors.

Personalised Treatment: We develop tailored treatment plans based on your specific condition, medical history, and risk factors. Treatment may include lifestyle modifications, medications, or further diagnostic tests.

Swift Responses: Shortness of breath can be a symptom of potentially serious cardiac or pulmonary conditions. We prioritise rapid assessments and interventions to minimise any potential risks and discomfort.

Educational Support: We believe in empowering patients with knowledge. We offer education and guidance to help you understand the causes and risk factors associated with shortness of breath.

Causes and Conditions Related to Shortness of Breath

Our Shortness of Breath care addresses a variety of potential causes and conditions, including:

Cardiac Causes: Shortness of breath can be a sign of cardiac issues, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or arrhythmias. We specialise in evaluating and treating cardiac-related shortness of breath.

Pulmonary Causes: Lung conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or pulmonary embolism, can also lead to shortness of breath. We work closely with pulmonary specialists when necessary.

Non-Cardiac Causes: Shortness of breath may result from non-cardiac factors, including anxiety, anaemia, or deconditioning. We identify and address these factors to provide holistic care.
