Dyspnea or shortness of breath refers to the inability to feel adequately oxygenated. The individual may report a smothering feeling, difficulty taking a breath, chest tightness or constriction, and/or an increased effort to breathe. The term dyspnea is derived from the Latin dyspnoea, meaning "difficult breath."
