Since SOB can be linked to a respiratory disorder - either chronic or acute, or to a cardiac issue, or even an anxiety disorder ,what we choose, would depend on if we can obtain any additional info at the time. If not, I direct Lauren to choose both a respiratory Active Issue (i.e. COPD – which lists trouble breathing) and a more cardiac-related Active Issue (i.e. CHF - which also lists trouble breathing). If we know ahead, or learn later that they had an infection, and/or this is more acute, and not chronic, I may change it to Pneumonia or Upper Respiratory Infection (URI). If anxiety or a panic attack could be the main cause of SOB, but we did not know it. Another option we use is to put a note in the Coaches’ calendars to remind
