Dyspnea means an uncomfortable awareness of breathing, often described as “shortness of breath.” It is a symptom, not a diagnosis, and it can come from the heart, lungs, blood, muscles, or nervous system. Clinicians use the term Dyspnea in medical notes, emergency triage, and cardiology and pulmonary evaluations. People use it to describe breathing that feels difficult, heavy, or “not enough air.”
