It is commonly accepted that emotion plays an essential role in the subjective experience of dyspnea. However, the involvement of emotion in the central processing of dyspnea is both complex and manifold (1). Emotion may induce dyspnea, either alone but generally together with physical stimuli, and may interfere with virtually all of the different stages of dyspnea processing from initial crude sensory perception to the final complex subjective experience. On the basis of clinical observations, as well as on the striking similarities between dyspnea and pain, it has been hypothesized that dyspnea might encompass at least two distinct, albeit interacting, dimensions (ie, sensory and affective/cognitive), as has been demonstrated for pain (2, 3). As suggested by a validated model of pain perception (3), the affective dimension of dyspnea presumably further includes an immediate emotional reaction (ie, dyspnearelated unpleasantness, possibly associated with an autonomic response) and a secondary, more sophisticated affective reaction to dyspnea (corresponding to dyspnea suffering) involving higher order cognitive functions, such as evaluation, memory, and mental representation, which subsequently leads to changes
