Hi, it's the degree of breathlessness related to activity. I.e. You can walk a certain distance and then have to stop.
Hope that helps. Xxxx
The MRC Breathlessness Scale measures and grades breathlessness according to how it affects you related to your activities.
1 Not troubled by breathlessness except on strenuous exercise.
2 Short of breath when hurrying on the level or walking up a slight hill.
3 Walks slower than most people on the level, stops after a mile or so, or stops after 15 minutes walking at own pace.
4 Stops for breath after walking about 100m or after a few minutes on level ground.
5 Too breathless to leave the house, or breathless when undressing.
MRC scale grade 4 is Stops for breath after walking 100m or after a few minutes on level ground.
Thank you everyone that has helped a lot . How do I know what stage I am at does any one know please .
For your peace of mind you do need to know the answers to your questions. I f you feel you can't ask write it down and give it to the nurse and ask for an answer when she is free.He/She may not realize you have a concern.But don't stop asking.
