Breathing disorders are one of the most common problems bringing patients to doctors' offices. The causes are diverse, ranging from anxiety to specific diseases of the brain, heart, lungs, and nasal and throat passages. The Breathing Disorders Sourcebook is an extensive guide to the causes, symptoms, and treatments for different types of breathing disorders. It explores the normal mechanisms involved in the act of breathing as well as what can go wrong and describes what to expect during the medical evaluation.

Summary: If you have a breathing disorder
Comment: I am a non-smoker with COPD and allergies. Due to my job, I have access to just about any medical reference I want. I wanted a guide for medications and conditions to help me be better informed about my problems. I found this guide to be very useful. Dr. Adams presents excellent information on both diseases and conditions as well as medications. This book is a couple of years old, but still as up to date with medications as possible, and still quite useful. I am hoping he will update this guide soon, and I would purchase it if he did. I also have his newer guide to asthma, and it is quite good as well. I would recommend this if you need a reference for lung problems.

Summary: The Brathing Disorder Source book by Adams
Comment: Just as other reviewers had said, this is a great fundamental guide understanding breathing disorders. I got my brother-in-law a copy so he could read it as well to try and figure out what is wrong with him. His doctors can't tell him why he has disabling shortness of breath after crossing the room. We are going to create our own theory and present it to his doctors to comment on and this book is all we needed to draft that theory. The book gives hope and that is what I need right now.

Summary: Outstanding Guide to Breathing Disorders and Treatment
Comment: The Breathing Disorders Sourcebook is "the guide" on the breathing process and the disorders that are associated with it. Diseases of the air passaages reviewed include, Rhinitis, Nasal Polps, Sleep Apnea, Asthma, Chronir Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Brochiectas, Cystic Fibrosis, and Lung Cancer. The book also covers diseases of the air sacs and pulmonary vessels. The introductory chapter has a good primer on how the respiratory process works and is integrated with the rest of the body. Another chapter is devoted to medical evaluation and treatment, signs and symptoms of breathing disorders. The text is succinct and direct, with figures and illustrations to help the reader. At times, the book can be technical for the lay reader, but the book includes a useful glossary for terms that are unfamiliar. Perhaps the best value of this book is the abundance of resource material in the Appendix. There are listings of how to get information by phone, contact referral centers, pulmonary rehab centers, national organizations, newsletters, books and pamphlets, allergy and repiratory supplies, and of course, my favorite, a guide to the best web sites on breathing disorders. If you have a breathing disorder, this book definately should be read and will serve well as a future reference. The author brings a lot of experience to his book and it is clear he knows what he is talking about. A small investment for such an tremendous amount of information and advice.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must read for anyone with a breathing problem.
Comment: How do we breathe. Dr. Adams' dandy book lets us count the ways of how we breathe, what can go wrong and what can be done to help us breathe easier. I found the Breathing Disorders Sourcebook a great read with so much information that will allow you to improve your breathing and in many cases avoid lung disease by lifestyle changes. I recommended this book to anyone that has a lung disorder or wants to prevent getting a lung disorder.
