Shortness of Breath

History

A 50-year-old woman has complained of shortness of breath for 3 months. It has steadily become more severe and is associated with an occasional cough. Otherwise she has been well. She smokes 15 cigarettes per day and drinks about 14 units of alcohol each week. Her 20-year-old son has asthma and she has tried his salbutamol inhaler on two or three occasions but found it to be of no real benefit. She has tested herself on her son’s peak flow meter at home and she has obtained values of about 100 L/min. On direct questioning she says that the shortness of breath tends to be worse on lying down but there are no other particular precipitating factors or variations through the day. She works as an office cleaner and has no significant previous medical history.
