Inspiratory dyspnea is often seen in localized laryngeal diseases, while expiratory dyspnea is more often associated with pulmonary disorders. Common laryngeal diseases that cause inspiratory dyspnea include acute epiglottitis, acute laryngitis, and laryngeal malignant tumors. Expiratory dyspnea is common in chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pneumonia, etc., so throat dyspnea is related to the lungs.
1. Acute epiglottitis: the main symptoms of acute epiglottitis are sore throat, swallowing, dyspnea, which is a common clinical emergency in ENT. Due to inflammation stimulation leads to congestion and swelling of the epiglottis, and the swelling of the epiglottis further leads to lymphatic reflux obstruction and thus a vicious circle, so acute epiglottitis may cause acute laryngeal obstruction in a short period of time, and even life-threatening.
2. Acute laryngitis: the main symptoms are sore throat, fever, cough, hoarseness, and if the laryngeal mucosal edema is further aggravated, it may lead to the narrowing of the vocal folds, resulting in respiratory distress. Dyspnea symptoms are more common in pediatric patients.
3. Laryngeal malignant tumor: the main symptoms are hoarseness, sore throat, cough, hemoptysis and so on. It is mostly seen in middle-aged and old male patients with long-term smoking, drinking and other bad habits. Due to the growth of tumor tissue blocking the vocal folds, thus gradually appearing dyspnea symptoms.
Expiratory dyspnea is commonly seen in chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pneumonia and bronchial asthma, etc. It is caused by the weakened elasticity of the lower respiratory tract, such as alveolar walls, and spasm or blockage of the small bronchial tubes.
The symptoms of dyspnea in the throat, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the relevant examination to clarify the cause of targeted treatment.
