We often associate the feeling of respiratory failure with inflammatory lung diseases or asthma, but there are other reasons, the therapist explained Sarah Jarvisemphasizing that the diagnosis should be established exclusively by a doctor.
In her interview with The Sun, she shared her diagnostic experience when severe shortness of breath indicated serious problems with the cardiovascular system. The doctor explained the mechanism of this phenomenon.
When the heart does not function efficiently, it is unable to provide enough oxygen to the organs. This deficiency is noticed by the brain and transmits signals to the respiratory system. It starts to work at higher speeds, trying to compensate for the lack of oxygen.
Psychologist Kirren Schnack from Oxford added that the feeling of respiratory failure often occurs in states of stress, anxiety or panic attacks. That is, with disorders of nervous and mental activity.
During times of stress, the body requires more oxygen, which is sent to large muscle groups. However, other tissues and organs may not have enough of it, causing the person to breathe more frequently to meet the increased need.
