Acute Bronchitis
Pneumonia should be suspected in patients with tachypnea, tachycardia, dyspnea, or lung findings suggestive of pneumonia, and radiography is warranted.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, patients who complain of dyspnea should have pulse oximetry to rule out hypoxemia.[merckmanuals.com]
Differential Diagnosis of Acute Bronchitis The acute bronchitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause cough, dyspnea and wheezing. [1] Disease Findings[wikidoc.org]

Anemia
Acute anemia presents with symptoms owing to acute blood loss; chronic anemia may present with worsening fatigue, dyspnea, lightheadedness, or chest pain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] months Leukemia, myelofibrosis Usually spontaneous, but rates are increased in patients with prior radiation exposure or chemotherapy Anemia causes pallor, fatigue, and dyspnea[aafp.org]
Symptoms may include: Abnormal paleness or lack of color of the skin Increased heart rate (tachycardia) Breathlessness, or difficulty catching a breath (dyspnea) Lack of energy[chop.edu]
Panic Attacks
According to our observations, some migraine subjects develop panic attacks with the typical symptoms (palpitation, dyspnea, anxiety/fear, shiver, sweating, polyuria) on the[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As the major symptom of a terminal illness that threatens our most basic physical requirement, dyspnea in COPD is open to catastrophic misinterpretation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, patients with PD/PA reported more panic (F(1, 22) 18.10, p .001), anxiety (F(1, 22) 21.93, p .001), worry (F(1, 22) 26.31, p .001), and dyspnea (F(1,22) 4.68, p .042[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
MEASUREMENT OF DYSPNEA IN COPD Section: The two purposes of measuring dyspnea are: to differentiate between patients who have less dyspnea and those who have more dyspnea[doi.org]
What effect do these improvements in lung mechanics have on dyspnea?[doi.org]
MECHANISMS OF DYSPNEA IN COPD Section: Descriptors of Dyspnea Dyspnea has been defined as a subjective experience comprised of distinct qualitative sensations which can vary[doi.org]
Obesity
It is likely that obesity modifies the clinical picture of COPD because of its effects on the perception of dyspnea and exercise tolerance.[dx.doi.org]

Obesity is a risk factor for dyspnea but not for airflow obstruction. Arch Intern Med 2002 ; 162 : 1477 -81. 17. Weiner P, Waizman J, Weiner M, et al.[dx.doi.org]
Pulmonary Emphysema
Feasibility, safety, and efficacy were analyzed by means of pulmonary function testing, 6-min walk test, dyspnea score, BODE (body mass index, air-flow obstruction, dyspnea[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Chronic dyspnea was also scored by modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
His severe dyspnea on exertion improved, and he no longer requires supplementary oxygen.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There can also be tachycardia and dyspnea but with hypotension. Vomiting and diarrhea may also occur, but are rare findings associated with the disorder.[symptoma.com]
), 4 days for patients 2 and 3 (dyspnea and fever), 14 days for patient 6 (cough), and 20 days for patient 7 (cough).[doi.org]
Patients may report nonproductive cough, cough-related pleuritic chest pain, and dyspnea. In children, diarrhea may be a feature.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Psychogenic Hyperventilation

Ventilator adjustments often cannot fully alleviate dyspnea.[ahcmedia.com]
These patients usually present due to dyspnea and chest pain.[unp.me]
Asthma
It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, wheezing, and dyspnea (dyspnea, paroxysmal). Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways.[icd9data.com]

She had used albuterol spray ten-times before admission due to accentuated dyspnea. Initial ECG revealed ST-segment elevation in leads V1-V6, I and aVL.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
