What Is Shortness Of Breath?
Shortness of breath is a symptom marked by a sensation of difficulty breathing, chest tightness, or feeling unable to take a full breath. It can signal underlying conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart failure, or respiratory infections, and it can significantly limit physical activity and quality of life. With the right treatment and support, many causes of shortness of breath can be well managed so you can breathe more comfortably and stay active.
