Chronic lung conditions such as asthma, COPD, and interstitial lung disease may wax and wane in severity and can worsen quickly and markedly if another problem, such as a lung infection, occurs. Common symptoms of lung disorders include shortness of breath, coughing, noisy breathing, and chest pain. Some people, however, have only mild symptoms or none at all. In these individuals, the disorder may be detected by a physical examination, on a chest x-ray, or by a test to check lung function.
Shortness of breath has many causes affecting either the breathing passages and lungs or the heart or blood vessels. An average 150-pound (70 kilogram) adult will breath at an average rate of 14 breaths per minute at rest. Excessively rapid breathing is referred to as hyperventilation. Numerous diseases of muscles and the nervous system can lead to shortness of breath by weakening the body's capacity for opening the lungs up for respiration. 2  Examples of muscle diseases include muscular dystrophy. 3  Nervous system diseases, such as paralysis, can lead to shortness of breath.
