Being at rest, a person does not think about the fact that his body continues to work continuously. We blink, our heart beats, countless chemical and biological processes occur. The body itself takes care of its condition. But sometimes, during a period of physical stress, we need to control the possibility of air intake ourselves. It becomes hard to breathe, there is not enough air and I want to take a deeper breath. This is a completely normal condition after a quick run, swimming and serious physical exertion.
But there are situations when it is hard to breathe, there is not enough air with simple walking, or even in a state of complete rest. Here you should already think about your health and start looking for the causes of such an uncomfortable condition. If breathing difficulties occurred suddenly, this may be due to the onset of lung disease, such as pulmonary embolism, bronchial asthma, pneumonia. In this case, the temperature may rise, a feeling of general malaise, pain in the chest area. You should immediately seek medical help and begin appropriate treatment. If suddenly it became difficult to breathe, not enough air, pain in the heart appeared - these are the first precursors of myocardial infarction and other problems with cardiac activity. The body needs rest and complete peace. Such situations are caused by stress, nervous strain, prolonged physical exertion and overwork. Sometimes, due to allergic reactions, it becomes difficult to breathe. This is due to the presence of edema in the larynx, bronchi. The consequence of this is the difficult intake of air into the lungs, and it becomes difficult to breathe.
The causes of breathing difficulties can be sought in gradually progressive diseases, to which the person did not pay due attention. These are diseases of the heart and blood vessels, lungs and developing fullness. It is necessary to deal with them: lead the right lifestyle, eat right, if necessary, get rid of extra pounds. Separately, situations in which it is difficult to breathe in the last stages of pregnancy should be considered. This is absolutely normal and expectant mothers do not need to worry about their health. This is due to the fact that the uterus, with an increase, increases intra-abdominal pressure, the diaphragm rises and reduces the volume of the lungs. Most often, during physical exertion and while lying down, it is difficult for pregnant women to breathe.
Not enough air and heavy smokers. If you smoke a lot and at the same time feel that you often have difficulty breathing, look for reasons in the number of cigarettes smoked per day. And the best solution wakes up to get rid of this addiction. Once you do this, the lungs will begin to work better and the breathing problem will disappear. A high concentration of dust in the air is the cause of breathing difficulties. If your work involves heavy dust formation, be sure to use a protective device.
One of the best ways to treat this condition is oxygen therapy. In our modern age, there are many similar devices that can "produce" oxygen from the air. And inhaling the maximum dose of oxygen will help get rid of such problems as hypoxemia and hypoxia (low oxygen content in the body). In case of heart problems, the doctor will prescribe cardiac drugs. For serious lung problems (asthma and other chronic diseases), inhalers are used. Breathing problems always require the most serious attitude to your body. Although in most cases the situation can be easily corrected, identified and resolved, it is better to consult a specialist with this symptom.
