Warning Signs Of Erdheim-Chester Disease

Shortness Of Breath And Fatigue

Individuals with Erdheim-Chester disease may experience shortness of breath and fatigue. As the disease continues to attack the body, histiocytes accumulate in the lungs decreasing their ability to function effectively. Individuals with shortness of breath may feel as though they are constantly winded, and even the simplest physical tasks may leave them feeling out of breath and fatigued. Individuals with shortness of breath and fatigue that is severely impacting their life may be referred to a pulmonologist for pulmonary rehabilitation treatment, which may include an oxygen tank to supplement oxygen levels produced by the damaged lungs as well as pulmonary exercises to strengthen the lungs and oxygen output.
