Misdiagnosis and Respiratory symptoms

Chronic lung diseases hard to diagnose: Some of the chronic lung diseases are difficult to diagnose. Even the well-knowns conditions such as asthma or lung cancer often fail to be diagnosed early. Some of the chronic lung diseases with diagnostic difficulties include asthma (perhaps surprisingly), COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, mesothelioma, smoker's cough, AIDS-related respiratory conditions (see AIDS), chronic pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases. Rare possibilities include diseases like psittacosis (bird-related lung infection). See other types of chronic lung diseases....more »

Diagnostic tests for Respiratory symptoms:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Respiratory symptoms. Some of these are listed below :

  • Physical examination
    • Inspect sputum for color and consistency if possibleBlood pressure, pulse rate, temperature
    • Examine lymph nodes looking for enlarged cervical or Axillary lymph nodes which may indicate lung cancer
    • Examine for Horner's syndrome - e.g. dilated pupil and drooping of the upper eyelid which may indicate lung cancer.
    • Examine for possible causes of postnasal drip - e.g. sinusitis, ear infection, nasal polyps.

See full list of 33 diagnostic tests for Respiratory symptoms

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Respiratory symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had the respiratory symptoms? - to determine if acute or chronic e.g. chronic cough is a cough that has been present and not improving for more than 4 weeks. Acute cough may suggest acute upper respiratory tract infection (e.g. common cold or influenza), viral pneumonia or bacterial pneumonia. A chronic cough is more suggestive of pneumoconiosis (lung disorder caused by inhalation of mineral dusts, organic dusts, fumes and vapors), chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, lung cancer or asthma.
  • What respiratory symptoms do you have? - e.g. cough, shortness of breath, fever, chest pain.
  • If you have a cough, how would you describe the cough? - e.g. paroxysmal with whoops suggest whooping cough; painful cough may suggest left ventricular heart failure; weak cough may suggest lung cancer, bovine (no power to cough) suggests vocal cord paralysis.
  • If you have a cough, what time of the day is the cough worse? - e.g. cough at night may suggest asthma, left ventricular failure, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, whooping cough; cough on waking may suggest bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis or gastro-esophageal reflux.
  • If you have a cough, is the cough related to meals? - e.g. esophageal diverticulum, tracheo-esophageal fistula.

See Diagnosis Checklist for Respiratory symptoms (31 listings)

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Respiratory symptoms) may include:

  • Sputum production? - If there is sputum production, describe it? - e.g. copious amounts with offensive smell suggests bronchiectasis; pus-like sputum may suggest pneumonia, abscess, tuberculosis or bronchiectasis; yellow-green thick and sticky may suggest asthma; profuse and watery may suggest lung cancer; red-currant jelly may suggest lung cancer; pink and frothy may suggest left ventricular failure with pulmonary edema.
  • Blood in sputum? - may suggest chronic bronchitis, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, lung cancer, lung metastasis, foreign body, left ventricular failure and mitral stenosis.
  • Wheeze? - usually suggests asthma but may also be chronic bronchitis, emphysema, foreign body, lung cancer, congestive heart failure.
  • If you have had a wheeze, have you had previous attacks of wheezing, hay fever or eczema? - more likely to suggest asthma as cause of chronic cough.
  • Shortness of breath? - In acute cases may suggest congestive heart failure, pulmonary embolism and pneumonia. In chronic cases may suggest emphysema, chronic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic congestive heart failure, tuberculosis and lung cancer.
