quickly, or deeply. Additionally, you don&rsquo;t feel like you&rsquo;re getting enough oxygen, and neither are your organs, which can have detrimental short- and long-term effects on your health.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of illnesses, including asthma, COPD, and heart failure, can lead to shortness of breath. Your doctor can order the tests required to obtain a diagnosis, as well as provide advice on how to live your life or provide prescriptions for drugs that can help cure the underlying condition causing your shortness of breath.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_Of_Shortness_Of_Breath\"><\/span>Symptoms Of Shortness Of Breath&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can experience shortness of breath by feeling it in your chest and by:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>finding it difficult to breathe<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>a desire to breathe more forcefully or deeply<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>inability to breathe properly <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>being agitated and puffy<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortness of breath during exercise may be the first sign. For instance, it&rsquo;s difficult to climb a staircase without panting heavily.
