Introduction[edit | edit source]
Breathing Pattern Disorders (BPD) are abnormal respiratory patterns. They range from simple upper chest breathing to, at the extreme end of the scale, hyperventilation. This is not a disease process, simply alterations in breathing patterns that interfere whith norm
BPDs are whloe person problems, especially in long term conditions where dysfunctional breathing can destabilise mind and muscles, mood and metabolism[1]. They can play a part in, for instance, chronic fatique, pain, fibromyalgia and some aspects of anxiety and depression.
Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
add text here relating to clinically relevant anatomy of the condition
Epidemiology[edit | edit source]
It is often reported that around 10% of patients in a population are diagnosed hyperventilation syndrome. However, far more people have a more subtle, yet likely clinically significant, breathing pattern disorder. Dysfunctional breathing is more prevelant in women (14%) than in men (2%)[2]
Etiology
[edit | edit source]
Breathing pattern disorders involve being in a constant state of inhalation. This leads to hypocapnia - the deficiency of carbon dioxide in the blood due to hyperventilation - leading to respiratory alkalosis, and eventually hypoxia or the reduction of oxygen to tissue
Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]
There are a wide variety of symptoms, the most extreme
Diagnostic Procedures[edit | edit source]
add text here relating to diagnostic tests for the condition
Outcome Measures[edit | edit source]
Nijmegen Questionnaire
Management / Interventions
[edit | edit source]
Mangement commonly requires the removal of causative factors and the rehabilitation of habitual aquired dysfunctional breathing patterns. In order to acheive this most efficiently it may be neccessary to restore normal function of the respiratory system such as thoracic mobility and muscle tone and length.
Differential Diagnosis

add text here relating to the differential diagnosis of this condition
Key Evidence[edit | edit source]

Case Studies[edit | edit source]
add links to case studies here (case studies should be added on new pages using the case study template)
