DYSPNEA
Dyspnea is a medical term For Shortness of breath,sometimes described as "air hunger or breathlessness". This medical condition can either be mild or temporary as the case may surface. In most cases the air we breath in every seconds contains oxygen that helpes the human body in process of our food and also to energize our body. The human brain can only cope without oxygen for five (5) minutes. Beyond these five minutes, the brain may suffer irreparable damage. A person who is suffering from breathlessness is not given the needed attention it may leads to deaths or lasting brain damage as a result.
