What is Shortness of Breath? Like what is it like?!


Question: What is Shortness of Breath? Like what is it like?
Sorry if this doesn't make sense, but I am trying to figure out of shortness of breath is like gasping for air and not, at all, being able to get it, or is it something like having to yawn/ take a deep breath, very often, or is it the same thing?

Thanks, Serious answer only!! 10 points to best answer!

Answers:

Yes. Almost as if you have to yawn but you don't get the "satisfied" or "full breath" feeling. Its almost like trying to take a full breath when someone is sitting on your chest where it expands. Every few tries to breath you get a satisfying breath and it just keeps repeating until what is causing it is treated. I've only experienced them due to panic attacks, not because of a physical sickness.
