Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Sun Qifeng
Expiratory dyspnea is commonly associated with obstructive pulmonary diseases, clinically termed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is often linked to air pollution, dust exposure, or inhalation of irritating chemical gases, which can trigger airway inflammation and swelling, leading to airway obstruction and consequently expiratory dyspnea. It may also result from an acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma.
