Do I Have a Breathing Disorder

Breathing is surviving. Breathing is essential for us to stay alive, and any little restriction in the breath can greatly affect the whole body. If you feel short of breath at frequent times, then it means you may be suffering from an airway disorder. A number of other medical conditions can also lead to shortness of breath. Some of the common ones are pulmonary diseases (asthma, COPD, etc.), cardiovascular disease, pneumonia, and bronchitis. Make an appointment with our Palo Alto dentist to determine your condition and undergo the right treatment option.

What are the symptoms of having a breathing disorder?
