To the occurrence of such a disease lead, in addition to diseases of the cardiovascular system, complications after the transferred angina or influenza. Throughout these ailments, the heart muscle does not do well with its function. In this regard, the organs and tissues receive insufficient amounts of oxygen-enriched blood.

Many people suffering from bronchial asthma often complain that they do not have enough air. This condition, as a rule, is a consequence of allergies. In addition, it is important to adhere to the correct diet, as well as control over obesity. Pulmonary diseases, pathologies of various origins, increased blood pressure - all this can be the reason why there is not enough air.

Often, the state of human breathing is affected by domestic factors. As practice shows, in a crowded place there is much less fresh air. For example, in the metro, the concentration of carbon dioxide increases with every minute. And the influx of fresh air is very small. Therefore, when the first symptoms of difficulty breathing (dyspnea) is recommended to go to the nearest stop.

It should be noted that the symptoms of lack of air can manifest themselves in a completely healthy person. So, for example, experts do not recommend after a long run just to go to bed or sit down. It should be a bit like, and only then take a calm position. The fact is that the breathing and rhythm of the heart should come back to normal gradually, and not immediately rebuilt to absolute calm.

In addition, experts do not recommend smoking and suffering diseases, especially catarrhal and cardiovascular, "on the feet."

Dyspnea is one of the serious consequences of heart ailments. This unpleasant sensation arises even with minor physical exertion in people who are prone to the development of cardiac diseases. Specialists define dyspnea as a protective physiological device, through which oxygen deficiency is replenished and the accumulated excess of carbon dioxide is released.

This condition can occur after eating, exercise, and in severe cases - at rest.
