Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dyspnea with fatigue is a common symptom of restrictive lung disease, as the lungs have difficulty expanding, leading to decreased oxygen intake and increased effort required for breathing. Excessive chest expansion (A) is more commonly seen in obstructive lung diseases such as emphysema. Productive cough (B) may be present in both restrictive and obstructive lung diseases, but is not specific to restrictive lung disease. Increased functional residual capacity (D) is not a symptom, but a measurement of lung function that may be decreased in restrictive lung disease.
