Shortness of breathe (dyspnea) occurs when you are trying too hard to breathe and there is a feeling that you need to breathe deeper and faster due to shortage of oxygen. It is usually experienced if you are living with COPD, asthma or lung disorders.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a CORTISOL - RANDOM Test or Take a MATERNAL SCREENING FIRST TRIMESTER- DUAL/DOUBLE MARKER WITH AFP Test
