Breathing problems
At Ram Krishna Chest Hospital (RKCH), we help treat many kinds of breathing problems. Breathing problems can be scary and uncomfortable, so it's important to know what might be causing them and when to seek help.
Types Breathing Problems:
Breathing problems can come in many forms and can be caused by different conditions. Here are some common types of breathing problems:
Shortness of Breath:
Feeling like you can't get enough air, which can be sudden or ongoing.
Wheezing:
A whistling sound when you breathe, often due to narrowed airways.

A cough that lasts more than eight weeks in adults or more than four weeks in children.

Breathing much faster than normal, which can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded.
Difficulty Breathing:
Struggling to breathe or feeling like you have to work very hard to breathe.
Common Causes of Breathing Problems:
- Asthma: A condition that makes your airways swell and narrow, causing wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing.
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A group of lung diseases, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, that block airflow and make it hard to breathe.
- Infections: Lung infections like pneumonia or bronchitis can cause breathing problems.
- Allergies: Allergic reactions can cause your airways to swell, making it hard to breathe.
- Heart Problems: Conditions like heart failure can cause fluid to build up in your lungs, making breathing difficult.
