What is shortness of breath?!


Question:

What is shortness of breath?

Is it just that you have to breath deeper? Or does it mean that it's harder to breath?

Like if I go out running and I'm not in shape. And I have to breath deep to get enough oxygen in my blood. I think I'm getting the same amount of oxygen in each breath, but I need more oxygen when I'm running. Is that shortness of breath?


Answers:

Shortness of breath is that you can't take a good deep breath because something is making it difficult to do so. Like an asthma attack as an example.
