Respiratory problems, such as shortness of breath and wheezing, can occur in individuals with Fabry disease. The accumulation of Gb3 in the lungs can lead to inflammation and impaired lung function. In some cases, respiratory issues may be exacerbated by heart complications or kidney dysfunction.
Treatment for respiratory issues in Fabry disease may include medications to manage symptoms, breathing exercises, and the use of supplemental oxygen in more severe cases. Regular monitoring of lung function is essential for early detection and effective management of respiratory complications. (9)
