How do I know if I have a breathing disorder?

An ongoing cough or shortness of breath while exercising, and/or general fatigue can be signs of a breathing problem. Many people simply feel that they are “out of shape”, slowing down, or getting older when, in fact, they are working harder to breathe. Go to the Australian Lung Foundation  and complete their great interactive lung health checklist. Please see your GP who will decide whether to refer you to Professor Allen.
