Why some people experience difficulty in breathing

Answer»

Shortness of breath has many different causes. For example, heart disease can cause breathlessness if your heart is unable to PUMP enough BLOOD to supply oxygen to your body. If your brain, muscles, or other body organs do not get enough oxygen, a sense of breathlessness may occur.

Breathing difficulty may ALSO be due to problems with the lungs, airways, or other health problems.

Problems with the lungs:

Blood clot in the ARTERIES of the lungs (pulmonary embolism)

Bronchiolitis

Chronic OBSTRUCTIVE pulmonary disease (COPD), such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema

Other lung disease

Pneumonia

Pulmonary hypertension
