Clinical Information

• Hypercapnia

  a clinical manifestation of abnormal increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in arterial blood.

• Hypoventilation

  a reduction in the amount of air entering the pulmonary alveoli.

• Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome

  hypoventilation syndrome in very obese persons with excessive adipose tissue around the abdomen and diaphragm. it is characterized by diminished to absent ventilatory chemoresponsiveness; chronic hypoxia; hypercapnia; polycythemia; and long periods of sleep during day and night (hypersomnolence). it is a condition often related to obstructive sleep apnea but can occur separately.

• Sleep Apnea, Central

  a condition associated with multiple episodes of sleep apnea which are distinguished from obstructive sleep apnea (sleep apnea, obstructive) by the complete cessation of efforts to breathe. this disorder is associated with dysfunction of central nervous system centers that regulate respiration.

• Respiratory Insufficiency

  failure to adequately provide oxygen to cells of the body and to remove excess carbon dioxide from them. (stedman, 25th ed)

• Congenital Central Hypoventilation |Central Hypoventilation Syndrome|Congenital Central Hypoventilation|Congenital Central Hypoventilation|Congenital Central Hypoventilation|Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome

  a disorder characterized by hypoventilation and hypoxemia. it appears early in life and is not associated with cardiopulmonary or neuromuscular abnormalities.

• Hypoventilation

  a state in which there is a reduced amount of air entering the pulmonary alveoli.

• Morbid (Severe) Obesity with Alveolar Hypoventilation|Morbid (severe) obesity with alveolar hypoventilation

  evidence of morbid (severe) obesity with alveolar hypoventilation.

• Rapid-Onset Obesity with Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation, and Autonomic Dysregulation|ROHHAD|ROHHAD|ROHHAD Syndrome|Rapid-Onset Obesity with Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation, and Autonomic Dysregulation Syndrome

  a very rare disorder that appears after the first year and a half of life in previously healthy children. it is characterized by rapid-onset weight gain, hypothalamic dysfunction, breathing abnormalities, and autonomic system dysregulation. the hypothalamic dysfunction manifestations include inability to maintain normal water balance, high prolactin levels, low thyroid, low cortisol, and early or late puberty. the breathing abnormalities include sleep apnea and alveolar hypoventilation, requiring ventilation support. the autonomic system dysregulation includes eye abnormalities, intestinal abnormalities, temperature dysregulation, and low heart rhythm. this disorder requires early recognition because it may lead to cardiorespiratory arrest. up to 40% of the patients develop tumors of neural crest origin.

Patient Education

Breathing Problems

When you're short of breath, it's hard or uncomfortable for you to take in the oxygen your body needs. You may feel as if you're not getting enough air. Sometimes you can have mild breathing problems because of a stuffy nose or intense exercise. But shortness of breath can also be a sign of a serious disease.

Many conditions can make you feel short of breath:

• Lung conditions such as asthma, emphysema, or pneumonia
• Problems with your trachea or bronchi, which are part of your airway system
• Heart disease can make you feel breathless if your heart cannot pump enough blood to supply oxygen to your body
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Allergies

If you often have trouble breathing, it is important to find out the cause.
