Differential Diagnosis

Air hunger - the sensation of an urgent need to breathe, sensation that you cannot take in a full breath
Tachypnea - breathing rapidly
Bradypnea - breathing slowly
Eupnea - normal unlabored breathing
Orthopnea - dyspnea that occurs with lying flat
Trepopnea - an abnormal awareness of one's own breathing that is seen in one lateral position but not in the other
Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea - sudden, severe shortness of breath at night that awakens a person from sleep, often with coughing and wheezing.
