Abstract

Under given circumstances breathlessness increases with increasing ventilation, and is usually estimated with respect to the prevailing level of ventilation. Under normal reflex (medullary) control ventilation is set at a metabolically appropriate level; volitional (cortical) breathing allows inappropriate levels of ventilation. The role of such inappropriate ventilation in the generation of breathlessness has been previously addressed, but with conflicting results.
