Dyspnea is the sensation of difficulty or shortness of breath when breathing. It is commonly described as a feeling of tightness in the chest and the sensation of not being able to get enough air.
It can be caused by various medical conditions, such as respiratory problems, heart diseases, obesity, or anxiety. Dyspnea can vary in intensity, from mild discomfort to a severe feeling of suffocation.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience persistent disnea or if it is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, as it may be indicative of an underlying health issue.
