10 Symptoms of Pneumothorax
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Dyspnea
The lungs need to be able to inflate as they should in order to take in the air that we need. Otherwise, they won’t be able to draw in sufficient oxygen and we will end up feeling short of breath. This is a condition that is medically known as dyspnea.
Being short of breath is not unusual and not usually something to be worried about, especially if you have been exercising. If you are short of breath without good reason, though, then it is something that might be a cause for alarm. It can be caused by a range of potentially serious conditions, so it is something that you should get checked out.
