'''Dyspnea''' (also known as shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing, or breathing difficulty) sucks. Let us elaborate.
'''Definition'''
----
According to the [[American Thoracic Society]], '''dyspnea''' is a "subjective experience of breathing discomfort that is comprised of qualitatively distinct sensations that very in intensity." Wow, that's a mouthful. Saying that definition out loud definitely can cause '''dyspnea'''. Have an inhaler ready."
